A former Westmoreland County woman was sentenced yesterday in a case where she was accused of setting a house on fire intentionally.
The Trib reports that 30-year-old Britny Parks, who now lives in Texas, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of failure to report or control a dangerous fire, with other charges including arson not prosecuted. She was ordered to serve two years of probation and ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation.
Parks was accused of intentionally setting an Aug. 31, 2020, fire at her Stewart Street home in Bell Township to collect insurance money for the residence she had unsuccessfully attempted to sell.
