Durham, N.C. — Durham police late Wednesday arrested the woman who four 
years ago falsely accused three Duke University lacrosse players of 
raping her.

Crystal Mangum assaulted her boyfriend, set his clothes on fire in a 
bathtub and threatened to stab him, investigators said.

She was in the Durham County jail under a $1 million bondMangum, 33, has 
been appointed a public defender and is scheduled to appear in court on 
Feb. 22.

Police charged her with attempted first-degree murder, five counts of 
arson, assault and battery, communicating threats, three counts of 
misdemeanor child abuse, injury to personal property, identity theft and 
resisting a public officer.

Shortly after 11:30 p.m., police received a 911 call about a domestic 
dispute at 2220 Lincoln St. Authorities said they believe the call came 
from one of the three children inside the house.

When officers arrived, they found Mangum and her boyfriend, Milton 
Walker, 33, fighting. According to police documents, Mangum scratched, 
punched and threw objects at Walker and told him, "I'm going to stab 
you, (expletive)!"

She then went into a bathroom and set his clothes on fire in the 
bathtub, police said. Officers called the fire department to put out the 
flames. No one was injured.

Milton was not charged, police said. The three children inside the 
house, ages 3, 9 and 10, were not injured.

Officers said Mangum gave them a fake name, "Marella Mangum," and age, 
prompting the identity theft charge. She also resisted the officers who 
responded to the scene, according to police documents. She has been 
ordered to have no contact with Walker.

Mangum – who penned her memoir, "Last Dance for Grace," in 2008 – was a 
student at North Carolina Central University in 2006 and also worked as 
an exotic dancer when she performed at the now-infamous Duke lacrosse 
party.

It was there, she claimed, that three white members of the team trapped 
her inside a bathroom and raped and sexually assaulted her.

The three players were indicted on rape and other charges on the basis 
of her allegations and were eventually exonerated after North Carolina's 
attorney general dismissed the charges.

The case ultimately cost former Durham County District Attorney Mike 
Nifong his job and he was later disbarred. He also spent a night in jail 
for lying to a Superior Court judge.

Several players in the Duke lacrosse case, including Duke Unviersity and 
the North Carolina Attorney General's Office, declined to comment on the 
case.

Nifong could not be reached for comment.

"My heart goes out to her," Joseph Cheshire, who represented one of the 
accused lacrosse players. "Mostly, I worry about her children."

Authorities say the children are in the care of other family members.

"We hope that the courts will adjudicate this case with fairness and 
without bias," Vincent Clark, Mangum's publisher, said in a statement. 
"Nevertheless, we support Crystal in her effort o heal from abuse and 
past injustices,"
