SEDGWICK COUNTY —A suspect who admitted setting a fire near the historic Orpheum Theatre, 200 N Broadway Street, in Wichita is expected to learn his fate Tuesday.
Jeremy Wycoff, 34, Wichita, who in September pleaded guilty to aggravated arson, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office, will appear in Judge Seth Rundell's courtroom for sentencing. The sentencing hearing for Wycoff was delayed in November and earlier this month.
On the evening of April 10, crews responded to report of a fire near the 102-year-old theatre that is undergoing renovations.
"Thanks to the quick response of Wichita Fire Department, the situation was contained before it caused any major damage to our building or our neighbors along First Street," the theatre announced on their social media page.
Three days after the crime, police arrested Wycoff and booked him into the Sedgwick County Jail where he remains jailed on a bond of just over $100,000.
