Arsonist "Demands" More Prison Time

STEVENS POINT – The man who set his apartment building on fire and later turned himself in to police said a sentence given to him Friday wasn't long enough.

Portage County Circuit Judge Thomas Flugaur sentenced Roy Strait, 40, of Stevens Point to 15 years in prison and 10 years on supervision.

But according to a letter from Strait that Flugaur read in court, neither the sentence, nor the amount requested by Portage County Assistant District Attorney David Knaapen nor Strait's attorney, Richard Bender, was long enough. In the letter, Strait asked Fluguar for 25 years in prison, and five years on supervision.

Strait pleaded no contest to one count of arson of a building in June.

The Portage County Metropolitan Fire District was called at 12:50 a.m. March 4 to a building engulfed in flames. Two people were home at the time of the fire but escaped uninjured, fire officials said. Public safety workers later removed two cats from the burning building.

Strait turned himself in to police later that day when officers were moving victims of the fire into rooms at the Point Motel, according to a criminal complaint. Strait told officers he had his bags packed and was ready to return to prison. Strait later told police he set the building on fire because he suffered from depression and wanted to return to prison.

And what is it we are supposed to be discussing?

 

Uh [MENTION=64204]Spooky[/MENTION] you be allover my @$$ dude and I ain't never done nothing to ya

Anyhow this guy "burned" his apartment down then called the COPS and said he had his "Bags Packed" wanted to "return" to PRISON

Due to his "Mental Illness" the JUDGE gave 15 years in State Prison and he complained that 15 wasn't "Long Enough" and "Demanded" a 25 year stretch in the pen

 

It sounds like he wants to go to prison. So they should kick the bum out of there. They should change his sentence. Make him do community service or commercial prison labor. Or, put him in a mental hospital.

 

Actually in the State Of Wisconsin you have "More Freedom" and "privileges" in the State Prisons than as a "patient" in the mental asylum

He'll yeah I'd rather go to Waupun than Mendota

 

Is his boyfriend locked up?

 

I dunno the article don't say but good question though
