Co-conspirator gets 20 years in Indianapolis house explosion

INDIANAPOLIS- One of five people charged in a deadly house explosion that devastated an Indianapolis neighborhood was sentenced Friday to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit arson.

 

Gary Thompson, 45, was sentenced to 30 years, with 10 years suspended, and two years of probation under a plea agreement with prosecutors.

 

The November 2012 natural gas explosion leveled the home of co-conspirator Monserrate Shirley, killed a couple who lived next door and damaged or destroyed more than 80 homes.

 

Marion Superior Court Judge Sheila Carlisle asked Thompson what would have happened if he didn't participate in the plot to blow up Shirley's home to collect $300,000 in insurance money.
