Falls Township police were dispatched around 6:10 a.m. on Thursday, January 9 to Vermont Lane in Levittown for an unknown problem. An officer arrived and could smell a “strong odor of gasoline” from the area of the doorway, police said.
Long advised the officer that her ex-fiancé had poured gasoline over her, but otherwise she was being “very evasive” about questions being asked. She also had AirPods in her ears the entire conversation.
“You smell it, right?” she reportedly kept stating.

Long, according to police, provided information about the alleged suspect that did not match up.
Officer Stephanie Metterle wrote in an affidavit of probable cause that Long gave bad information as a “purposeful” way to thwart the investigation.
