STURGEON BAY, Wis. (AP) — A man convicted of starting a fire that killed two people when it destroyed a Wisconsin building housing a bar and rented rooms has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. Sixty-year-old Anthony Gonzalez was also sentenced Friday to 15 years of extended supervision for the fire at Butch’s Bar and the building’s upstairs apartments. The February 2022 fire killed two tenants who lived above the Sturgeon Bay bar and seriously injured a third tenant. A jury convicted Gonzalez in January of two counts of second-degree reckless homicide and five counts of second-degree recklessly endangering safety.
