WARREN, Ohio - The man suspected of setting a fire at a Howland Laundromat has been sentenced to a year in prison.

Appearing in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court Tuesday, 39-year-old Michael Robinson was sentenced on charges of vandalism and breaking.

The Warren man pleaded guilty to the charges in April after he was originally charged with arson in connection with a fire at the Mayfair Laundromat on Elm Road NE in the Golden Point Plaza. Flames from that fire burned through the roof of the business.

Authorities offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the arsonist.
