arson

A Lewiston man has been given a four-year fixed prison sentence for setting fire to a Lewiston home in April.

As part of a plea agreement, 62-year-old Robert Charpentier pleaded guilty to first-degree arson and an additional sentencing enhancement was removed. He’ll also have to pay $245.50 in fees.

Charpentier was arrested April 11 following a structure fire at an unoccupied home the night before at 1511 Sixth Ave.

According to court documents, Charpentier admitted to starting the fire and showed detectives where it was started. The information matched evidence investigators found at the scene. (Lewiston Tribune)
