Squatter charged in Tuesday warehouse fire in Camden

A Camden woman has been charged with arson in relation to a Tuesday night warehouse fire in the city's Waterfront South neighborhood.

Tammie Shipp, 35, was allegedly squatting in the building at 6th Street and Carl Miller Boulevard and set fire to a mattress following a dispute with her boyfriend, who also was staying there, according to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.

Authorities do not believe the woman is connected to last month's string of warehouse fires in Camden, which remain under investigation by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Explosives and Firearms.

Tuesday's two-alarm fire at the former paint manufacturing plant was reported around 10 p.m. No one was injured.

Shipp is being held in Camden County Jail on $126,500 bond.
