BARRE â A Washington man has changed his pleas in a case where he is accused of setting a vehicle on fire with the blaze spreading to and destroying multiple businesses in Barre in January.
Glenn I. Hill, 41, pleaded no contest via phone Thursday in Washington County criminal court in Barre to a felony count of second-degree arson and a misdemeanor count of reckless endangerment. Hill also pleaded guilty to giving false information to law enforcement, negligent operation of a vehicle and driving with a suspended license. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 12 where the state will argue for a sentence of three to 10 years to serve. Hillâs attorney, Andrew Pappone, will argue for a lesser sentence. Pappone said Hill pleaded no contest to the arson and reckless endangerment charges because he has no memory of what happened.
