WTAJ reports that 36 year old Jonathon Copenhaver of Shirleysburg pleaded guilty to setting his mobile home on fire last October. The report suggests that Copenhaver had a friend pick him up at the scene, drive him to another home which he was renting to someone, and tried to bribe that person to lie about the fire. Minutes after being dropped off, the call went out and fire crews rushed to the scene. Copenhaver then barricaded himself inside his home, but was arrested without incident. He is facing up to 6 years behind bars for the arson. He pled guilty to a charge of arson.
