The evicted trailer park resident who returned to burn down his former home and the one next to it will spend three to four and half years in jail.
24-year-old Chance Cawley in October set fire to a vacant mobile home in the 300 block of 11th Street NW. The flames spread to both neighboring homes, destroying one of those, too. Police say nobody was hurt.
After initially pleading not guilty to a December indictment, Cawley in April pleaded guilty to reduced charges including aggravated arson, arson and breaking and entering.
He was sentenced earlier this month to prison and ordered to pay 44-hundred dollars in restitution to two victims.
Cawley is in the Tuscarawas County jail to be transported to an Ohio correctional facility.
