The man who started three fires around Brown County has been sentenced.
James Ambrosius will spend 15 years in federal prison followed by three years of extended supervision.
He was found guilty of starting fires in Green Bay, De Pere, and Hobart between 2018 and 2021, which landed him in federal court, but he was also charged in state court with starting eight other fires.
Those charges were dropped in favor of the federal charges.
Ambrosius was caught after his employer identified him as a possible suspect in the burning of the business back in July of last year.
While he initially denied starting the fire, Ambrosius did eventually admit to starting the fire at the business and to several other fires.
