Ulster County Court ordered Anthony Waiters, a 23-year-old Kingston, New York man to serve five years' probation for his part in igniting the blaze. He will also pay a $630 fine and complete ten days of community service. He pleaded guilty to insurance fraud and attempted arson in February.

The two other defendants in the case await sentencing: Mark Winkler, 36, the owner of the vehicle, and Anthony Latty, 44. Winkler earlier pleaded guilty to insurance fraud. Latty, who faces the most serious charges also pleaded guilty to insurance fraud and attempted arson. Both had not yet been sentenced at the time of this publication.

Winkler admitted in court that financial problems led him to offer Latty $1,000 to get rid of Winkler's 2007 GMC Sierra pickup truck. Latty said he recruited Waiters to help him. The two drove the pickup to a rural area where they then poured gasoline into the vehicle and set it on fire.
