OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A judge has sentenced an Omaha woman to five to 10 years in prison for starting a fire that severely burned her boyfriend.
Tanesha Beard was sentenced Tuesday to concurrent five to 10 year terms for arson and assault.
She earlier pleaded no contest to the charges, which stemmed from a March fire at an Omaha home.
Beard was arrested after surveillance video showed her buying a gasoline container and gas.
The fire severely burned Beard's boyfriend, Jermaine Westbrook, who had been sleeping.
