Arsonist will be sentenced next week

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

A man who's been convicted of arson will be sentenced next week after further charges were brought against him.

53-year-old Graham Johnson has been charged with unlawfully supplying three different types of prescription medicine on September 13th.

Last month he pleaded guilty to a charge of arson after causing a fire at the Grainagh Court mental health facility in June.

He has also pleaded guilty to one charge of introducing tobacco to the Isle of Man prison after he was caught passing the contraband to an inmate.

Mr Johnson is due to be sentenced for all offences next Tuesday - he has been remanded in prison until then.
