A Waterloo, Iowa man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for setting his ex-girlfriend’s house on fire.
Kelvin Scott was sentenced Wednesday for second-degree arson after a judge refused his request for a new trial.
Authorities say Scott, 44, burned his ex-girlfriend’s home in early December after calling her on the telephone and threatening her. He was found guilty in February.
Scott is also awaiting trial for second-degree criminal mischief. That charge stems from allegations he destroyed furniture and other items at the same house and began flooding the basement in September.
