OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A transient has been sentenced to more than eight years in jail for the fire that caused more than $2 million to Olympia’s new City Hall, while it was still under construction.
The Olympia says 22-year-old Joshua Stacy was convicted earlier this week of one count of second-degree arson and two counts of second-degree burglary.
Stacy was arrested after Olympia police were informed by the state Department of Corrections that a global positioning device he wore showed he was at the City Hall site when the arson took place on July 8. Stacy had been released from Coyote Ridge Correctional Center on May 11 and had to wear a GPS monitoring device because he is a level 3 sex offender.
