BRIGHAM CITY, Utah (AP) -- A defense lawyer says a 25-year-old man intends to plead guilty to two felony charges in a November 2008 blaze that destroyed a historic mill in Brigham City.
Attorney Jon Bunderson says Luke Hunsaker will plead guilty May 19 to burglary and attempted arson in the Merrill Planing Mill blaze.
The Standard-Examiner of Ogden reports that Hunsaker appeared Thursday before 1st District Court Judge Clint Judkins on burglary and a more serious arson charge.
Exterior stone walls are all that remain of the mill built in 1875.
It was the second historic Brigham City building to burn in a three-month period.
An arson investigation continues in an August 2008 fire at the nearby J.H. Bott and Sons Monument Co.
