 NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) - A 43-year-old North Platte woman has been given probation on a conviction for attempted arson.
 
     Court records say Royalene Hernandez pleaded guilty in June to attempted second-degree arson. Prosecutors had lowered the charge in exchange for her plea.  Hernandez was given 12 months of probation.
 
     Hernandez was arrested April 2 after firefighters were sent to her home to battle a carpet fire. Prosecutors say Hernandez started the fire so another resident would leave. 
 
     No injuries were reported.
 
     Court records say Hernandez also is known as Royalene Hernandez-Cazares and as Royalene Beauvais.
