A Florida woman who set her ex-boyfriend’s house on fire and stabbed a deputy has been sentenced to a year and a day in prison.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports 27-year-old Brittany Bonin was sentenced Monday after pleading no contest to charges including of first-degree arson and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. She’ll get credit for 314 days spent in county jail, meaning she’ll serve another 52 in state prison.
Authorities say Bonin set fire to her ex-boyfriend’s Edgewater home in 2017. The ex-boyfriend went to get help from a neighbor, who was a captain with the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. The neighbor called 911 and reported that Bonin stabbed him in the lower back while he was trying to restrain her.
