CADILLAC â A 19-year-old Cadillac teen who pleaded no contest in Wexford Countyâs 28th Circuit Court to charges related to the fire at the now-demolished McKinley Elementary School received a delayed sentence.
Levi Sopath Oung was ordered to pay $798 in fines and fees as part of his one-year delay of sentence after he pleaded no contest last month to third-degree arson for his connection with the incident occurring on Oct. 1, 2019, in Cadillac. A no contest plea is not an admission of guilt but is treated as one at sentencing. It also permits the court to determine guilt from the review of the police report.
