Pennsylvania man sentenced to 10 years in office firebombing
SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania man who pleaded guilty to charges that he firebombed a child welfare office during a custody dispute has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison. Philip Finn Jr. of Plains was sentenced Thursday. He pleaded guilty in October to use of fire to commit stalking. Federal prosecutors say Finn used three Molotov cocktails to firebomb the Children and Youth Services building in Wilkes-Barre in 2017 to harass and intimidate two Children and Youth Employees. A federal judge also ordered Finn to pay $398,756 in restitution for the fire and water damage to the building.
