RICHMOND MAN SENTENCED TO THREE YEARS FOR FATAL FIRE

(Eaton, OH)--A Richmond man was sentenced Thursday to three years in prison for causing a fatal mobile home fire on New Paris Pike last September.  Anthony Luker ignited fireworks that sparked a fire that killed 57-year-old Kenneth Doolin.  At sentencing, Preble County Assistant Prosecutor Eric Marit said that Luker could have tried to save Doolin.  Instead, he stole his car and fled.  Luker’s attorney claimed that Luker was remorseful and tried to take his own life shortly after the fire.
