A Birmingham man has been sentenced to nearly five years in federal prison for setting fire to his father’s Indiana home, killing two pets.
Harrison on Oct. 28, 2021, left Birmingham and drove to Connersville, Ind., where his father lived with his wife, children and the family’s pets. Video surveillance from the area showed Harrison parking next door to the victim’s house, exiting the vehicle, placing a container on the ground, and driving away.
Over the next hour, authorities said, Harrison used gasoline to light the inside and outside of his family’s home on fire, destroying their master bedroom, rendering the bedrooms of the family’s children unlivable, and killing two of the family’s beloved pets, a cat and a dog.He then returned to Birmingham where he was arrested in early 2022.
