The RTD is reporting that the man behind the November 2011 meth lab fire on Grove Avenue has been sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison:
In an unusually long monologue that dwelled on human frailty and the fear he may have embedded in the minds of neighborhood children, Jeff S. Prillaman, 51, sounded more like an ethicist than a convict before Richmond Circuit Judge Bradley B. Cavedo approved a plea agreement that saw most of a 22-year sentence suspended for the HIV-positive apartment dweller-turned-meth manufacturer.
Prillaman’s first-floor apartment in the 3500 block of Grove Avenue became a chemical-filled inferno in November 2011 as the self-taught drug manufacturer lost control of a “shake-and-bake, one-pot batch” of drugs trying to follow a three-ring binder of instructions. Firefighters lost more than $8,000 of equipment in the fire because of damage from drug-making chemicals and Prillaman received severe burns that hospitalized him for weeks.
