VERNON, B.C. — A BC Supreme Court judge has sentenced a serial fire starter in the Vernon area to three years in prison.
The Crown prosecutor and defence lawyer for William Munton made a joint submission recommending that sentence.
57-year-old Munton pleaded guilty to seven of the 19 arson charges he was facing in October in BC Supreme Court, avoiding a scheduled three-week jury trial that was set to start that day.
The biggest blaze was one in July 2014 that burned down the grandstand at Kin Race Track, while others were set in fruit bins, some wooden pallets, a home under construction, and a boat.
