A Lawrence County man who admitted causing a house explosion in a failed suicide attempt has been sentenced to 7 to 14 years in prison.
Patrick Henry, 31, of New Castle, must pay $781,305 in restitution and will spend six years on probation after his release. He was sentenced Monday in Lawrence County Court for his November guilty plea to one count of arson.
Authorities say Henry unscrewed a natural gas line at his rental home Nov. 27, 2006. Henry was injured, as were about a dozen other people, including two friends who went to check on him when he missed work that day. Nearly four dozen homes were damaged in the blast.
