Last November, the horse barn at the Delaware County fairground was destroyed by fire. Both of the teenagers who pled guilty to arson in the case are under 18 -- usually reason enough to keep a defendant's name out of the newspaper. But Judge Carl Becker tried and sentenced them as adults, so the Daily Star named names.
Curtis Constable, 17, pleaded guilty to third-degree arson, a class C felony, and was sentenced to 1 ½ to 4 ½ years in prison, and was ordered to pay restitution totaling $240,500 and to stay away from the fairgrounds for eight years.
Constable joins co-defendant Joseph Boycott of Walton, who was sentenced to one to three years in March.
