Judge Mark Pasquariello sentenced 50-year-old Lonnie Durfee to one year at the Berkshire County House of Correction on Wednesday on a single count of burning personal property.
In an unagreed plea previously presented to Judge Paul Smyth, the Berkshire District Attorney’s Office requested the court to sentence Durfee to the maximum penalty of one year. Defense Council requested time served. Smyth ordered Durfee to serve one year and the defendant withdrew his plea.
On Wednesday, Durfee appeared before Pasquariello and opted to accept the plea.

When the Minnesota jury came back Tuesday in the George Floyd case, Raymond Moore was in a packed room in North Adams, surrounded by his wife, seven children, two cousins and neighbors.
Moore says a hush fell around the TV as the judge prepared to read the verdicts against Derek Chauvin. With the first finding of âguilty,â Moore felt a mix of elation and amazement.
And then a trace of hope for Black families everywhere.
âMy heart fell into my stomach. I was ecstatic that that cop was held accountable,â he said.
Moore, a Black Lives Matter activist, says he has followed the case closely, since Floydâs murder May 25 in Minneapolis. Floyd, 46, died after being arrested on suspicion of passing a counterfeit $20 bill. Chauvin was convicted Tuesday of murder and manslaughter for pinning Floyd to the pavement by placing his knee on Floyd s neck for more than nine minutes.
