A Protestor Receives a Two Year Prison Sentence for Setting a Fire Outside of a Seattle Police Precinct
A man was sentenced Tuesday to two years in prison for setting a fire outside a Seattle police precinct during the city’s “occupied” zone protest in June 2020.
Isaiah Thomas Willoughby, of Tacoma, Washington, admitted he used gasoline to soak a debris pile outside the abandoned police precinct on June 12, 2020, and set it ablaze, according to Acting U.S. Attorney Tessa Gorman.
The U.S. District Court in Seattle also imposed a 3-year period of supervised release following the 2-year sentence, The Seattle Times reported.
