SCRANTON, Pa. — A man from Scranton will spend up to 22 years behind bars for his role in an arson for-profit scheme that turned deadly.

Chad Kenowski was sentenced after pleading guilty to third-degree murder and arson charges earlier this year.

Investigators say Kenowski and Brett Sweeting conspired to burn down Kenowski's home on Roosevelt Street in Scranton to collect nearly $800,000 in insurance.

Sweeting died while setting the fire in 2018.
