Car wash arsonist sentenced
DAYTON — A Washington Twp. man who set a fire at the Four Seasons Auto Bath in May was sentenced to six months in the Montgomery County Jail on Wednesday, Aug. 18.
Matthew Martin, 20, pleaded guilty on July 21 to one count of breaking and entering, in connection with a break-in at the Yankee Street Market, in which a safe and two cash registers were stolen and one count of arson, for the May 18 fire set at the car wash.
Martin will on intensive probation for five years under the sentence handed down by Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Michael L. Tucker, who also ordered Martin to pay restitution to two business owners and to get help for his psychological disorders.
Martin told Tucker that he was on social security disability because of his issues. Tucker declined to send him to prison, but gave him the local incarceration as a probation condition so that he would understand there were consequences for his actions.
Martin and a juvenile were arrested May 18. The arson at the car wash was captured on surveillance cameras, and sheriff’s deputies recognized Martin and the boy.
