(La Porte, IN) - Sentencing is scheduled for a Mill Creek woman convicted of arson.

 

Britany Lawson, 38, was found guilty by a jury last month of setting a blaze in November of 2022 at Slicer Storage in the 200 block of East Lincolnway in La Porte.

 

Several storage units along with contents were damaged in the fire.

 

Lawson faces anywhere from a 2 to 12 year sentence on the Level 4 felony charge. Her sentencing hearing is scheduled Friday in La Porte Circuit Court before Judge Tom Alevizos.

 

La Porte County Deputy Prosecutors Julianne Havens and Brody Shoffner presented the evidence to jurors in the case, which was investigated by the La Porte Police Department and La Porte Fire Department.

 

“Having great relationships with our law enforcement partners makes our job that much easier,” said La Porte County Prosecutor Sean Fagan in thanking everyone involved in the guilty verdict reached during the three day trial.
