ELKHART, Ind. (AP) - A woman who pleaded guilty to arson for allegedly helping her boyfriend set fire to several barns in northern Indiana has been sentenced to eight years on house arrest.
An Elkhart County judge gave Sherry Thomas a 10-year sentence on Tuesday, with eight years to be served under house arrest and two years suspended to probation.
The 33-year-old Nappanee resident had pleaded guilty to one count of arson. The South Bend Tribune reports Thomas was originally charged with eight counts of arson, but under her plea agreement prosecutors dismissed all but one offense and stipulated that any time served would be in community corrections and not prison.
