A repeatedly convicted arsonist has been given a lengthy prison sentence. 49-year-old Terry Michael Reed started a fire near the A.C.I.D. Canal at Highway 273 and Latona Road between Redding and Anderson on July 15th. He was quickly arrested by the Sheriff’s Office. Reed was convicted of arson in 2021 and was released from prison last December 28th. A week later the Corrections Department said he had not yet reported to his parole agent, and an arrest warrant was issued in February. Reed was sentenced Monday to 18 years in state prison.
