Dreamland Ballroom and church arsonist Pope sentenced to three to 20 years

By Mary Spicer

“I’ve taken into consideration your prior good conduct and the support you’ve received from friends and family,” Vardaro said after setting the sentence. However, he continued, he also took the type of structures Pope set afire as well as the danger the fires created for those who fought them and the fear they created within the community.

“What Mr. Pope has taken away from the community cannot ever be replaced,” Weber said after the session ended. “I doubt that he will ever be able to repay $1.5 million in restitution.”

Church member Kimber Hunter, who was present in the courtroom but didn’t speak during Friday’s proceeding, described herself as being confused about how to feel following the sentencing. “He should have to come out and help the people as we rebuild,” she said.
