Firefighter Pleads Guilty In Library Arson

BEL AIR, Md. (AP) ― A volunteer firefighter charged with setting a Havre de Grace library on fire has pleaded guilty.

Daniel Ramsey, 29, entered the plea Tuesday in Harford County Circuit Court. He was convicted of conspiracy to commit second degree arson.

The judge sentenced him Tuesday to 10 years in prison with eight years suspended. Ramsey will serve five years of probation and must pay $18,000 in restitution.

Fire investigators said Ramsey and a 17-year-old boy threw an incendiary device through a window at the Havre de Grace branch of the Harford County Public Library. The August fire caused about $17,000 in damage, officials said.

The 17-year-old was sentenced in March to 100 hours of community service and ordered to pay $18,000 in restitution.
