Joseph Edward Duva, the 21-year-old man who attempted to burn down the University’s observatory last February, pled guilty Thursday to destruction of property, according to an Albemarle Circuit Court employee.
Judge Cheryl Higgins ordered Duva to pay a $418.52 restitution fee to the University for the damage. She sentenced him to five years in prison but suspended all but the six months he has already served.
He is released on the condition of two years of supervised behavior and five years of good behavior, said Roxanne Bruce, the Court employee.
Duva was also arrested in March in relation to a vandalism spree that had taken place in the Fry Springs area.
