A Beloit woman facing an arson charge in connection with a fire at the gas station where she was working may be eligible to have her felony arson charge reduced, if she successfully completes a program.

36-year-old Brandi Vazquez-Tello is accused of starting a fire on the baby-changing table inside one of the men’s bathroom stalls at the Beloit Kwik Trip on October 6th, 2023.

At her initial appearance in Rock County Court Tuesday morning Court Commissioner Jack Hoag ordered a $1000 signature bond and did allow Vazquez-Tello to possess a lighter due to the fact that she is a cigarette smoker.

According to the criminal complaint, Vazquez-Tello has been a witness in several prior suspected arsons, and was a suspect in an arson initiated in a Mobil Gas Station bathroom where she worked at the time.
