RENO COUNTY — A Kansas man who entered pleas to setting a pair of fires in May of 2014 in Reno County was sentenced Monday to three years and four months in prison.

Dustin Gordon, 26, waived his right to a preliminary hearing and entered a plea to one count of arson while the state dropped a second count.

He was found guilty for setting fires to a two-story home and a trailer home that was used for storage.

Gordon is currently serving prison time for convictions for two counts of aggravated arson and one count of arson and was given five years and 10-months for setting three fires at the former Flamingo Motel in Salina.

The Reno County fires occurred on East Blanchard south of the intersection of Kansas 61 and U.S. 50, on the southeast side of Hutchinson.

When units arrived, they found a fully involved two-story house and also a second fire in a mobile home one-eighth mile east of the house that was fully involved as well. Both houses were vacant.
