A Man is Sentenced for Setting His House on Fire

A Huntington man was sentenced Tuesday in a case where prosecutors said he set his house on fire with a Molotov cocktail. Daniel Watts was charged with possessing an unregistered incendiary device after deputies said he admitted to throwing the Molotov cocktail at his own back porch along Green Valley Road in 2020. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia said Watts was sentenced to time served and placed on three years of supervised release to begin once he finishes a term of supervised release for a prior drug conviction.
