District Attorney Announces Guilty Plea in Arson Case
**Orange County, NY** – Tyler Williams, a 26-year-old from Middletown, has pled guilty to second-degree arson in Orange County Court. The case was overseen by Judge Craig Stephen Brown, where it was announced that the prosecution will recommend a 20-year prison sentence followed by five years of post-release supervision for Williams.
The initial incident occurred on December 20, 2023, when Williams received traffic tickets from a New York State Trooper in Middletown. Early the next morning, a fire was ignited at the home of the Trooper’s father in Warwick. First responders included the Town of Warwick Police, Orange County Fire Investigation Unit, and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
An extensive investigation conducted by the Town of Warwick Police, the New York State Police Major Crimes Unit, and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office led to Williams’ arrest. More than 20 search warrants were executed, largely focusing on digital evidence, alongside numerous subpoenas. Williams admitted to starting the fire, knowing people were inside the home.
District Attorney David M. Hoovler praised the law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation, including the Town of Goshen Police Department
Pennsylvania Attorney General Announces Settlement with Inspire Clean Energy
**HARRISBURG, PA** – Attorney General Michelle Henry has confirmed a settlement with Inspire Clean Energy. The California-based company will provide $150,000 in restitution as part of a $250,000 agreement for allegedly misleading consumers into service agreements.
The Office of Attorney General’s investigation suggests Inspire representatives misled consumers by suggesting they were participating in surveys or mailing lists, enrolling them in energy services instead. Some consumers encountered increased energy costs after being promised savings.
Under the settlement, Inspire is required to ensure clear disclosures during customer interactions and obtain explicit consent before enrolling customers in their services. Attorney General Henry emphasized the importance of protecting Pennsylvanians from deceptive practices involving essential services.
The investigation revealed instances where Inspire representatives falsely claimed affiliations with the government or other utility companies. The settlement requires additional measures for compliance and oversight of Inspire representatives.
