Teenage Arsonist Pleads Guilty

A 17-year-old boy has pleaded guilty to starting a fire in the Ames Plaza in the Town of Yorkshire on May 30.

Casey Gilcrease and a 14-year-old girl were charged with arson for trespassing inside a vacant store and starting a fire that quickly grew out of control. An 11-year-old boy was also charged in the incident.

The plaza also houses a Save-A-Lot, Dollar General and Valu Home Center.

No one was injured in the fire. The inside of the vacant store including the roof and ceiling were damaged.

Gilcrease will be sentenced November 2 in Cattaraugus County Court.
