Boy Sentenced In Marseilles Blaze

A 13-year old boy has admitted to setting a fire in downtown Marseilles that destroyed three buildings.

The boy pled guilty Tuesday and was given 30 days in the detention home and five years probation.  He has already served the time in the detention home so he’s been released to his parents.

The fire late last month destroyed three buildings along Commercial Street in Marseilles.  Smoke could be seen miles away.
