COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A judge sentenced a Colorado Springs man to 10 years in prison for the arson of the Green Mountail Falls Town Hall fire last year.

Kyle Lawrence must also serve five years of mandatory probation.

The fire happened last February just west of Manitou Springs.  After the fire, El Paso County Sheriff's Deputies contacted one of the suspects, Zachariah Shafffer. The other suspect, Lawrence, refused to come out. A brief standoff ensued but Lawrence eventually surrendered.

Lawrence was transported to a Denver hospital. He was charged with First Degree Arson - Conspiracy to Commit First Degree Arson and Second Degree Burglary.
