A Fostoria man will spend nearly five years in prison for an arson conviction. 42-year-old Whittey Lee Marshall Jr. pleaded guilty to aggravated arson and other charges earlier this week. Marshall will also pay nearly $15,000 in restitution and register as an arson offender.

He could get out in six months for good behavior.

Marshall set a home at 132 Nichols Street in Fostoria on fire on May 16. Firefighters rescued three dogs from the home.
