ACCOMAC, Va. (AP/WBOC)- A woman accused of participating in an Eastern Shore of Virginia arson spree is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday on charges stemming from two of the fires.
A jury convicted 41-year-old Tonya Bundick in August of setting a fire March 3, 2013, in Accomack County. In January, Bundick entered an Alford plea to arson and conspiracy stemming from an April 2013 fire in Melfa.
Thursday's sentencing will be held in Accomack County Circuit Court.
Bundick faces more than 60 additional arson counts in connection with a series of arsons that occurred from November 2012 to April 2013. A judge ruled in April that she can have separate trials on each charge.
Co-defendant Charles R. Smith, who was accused of setting a majority of the 77 fires during the spree, has pleaded guilty to 67 arson counts and a conspiracy charge. He is awaiting sentencing.
