SALINA, Kan. (AP) – A man serving almost six years in prison for setting fires to a vacant Salina motel has pleaded guilty to burning down a vacant house and a mobile home in rural Reno County.

Dustin J. Gordon pleaded guilty to one count of felony arson on Thursday. Gordon was accused of setting fire to a vacant two-story farmhouse and a mobile home used for storage on May 28, 2014. Reno County Senior Assistant District Attorney Stephen Maxwell said that both properties were destroyed.

His sentencing hearing is set for April 8.

Gordon was sentenced to 5 years and 10 months in prison in October after pleading no contest to charges related to fires set to the former Flamingo Motel in Salina in 2014.
