An Alameda County Superior Court judge has accepted a plea deal from Ghost Ship master tenant Derick Almena for his role in the deadly warehouse fire.

Derick Almena was sentenced to 12 years, but will serve out his sentence at home with an ankle monitor rather than behind bars. He was also ordered to pay restitutions of $181,000 for funeral expenses and counseling of victims.
