Prosecutors accused Poisson of setting his former boss’s house on fire, stealing the man’s gun and then using it to shoot his way into South Hill Mall the next day.
According to court filings, Poisson pleaded guilty Friday to second-degree arson and first-degree burglary in one case and first-degree burglary and second-degree malicious mischief in the other.
The sentencing recommendation would bar him from the South Hill Mall and the home of his former boss. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for May 20. Poisson was arrested that morning in the mall’s parking lot. A week later, prosecutors charged him with setting his former boss’s house on fire. The defendant’s boss returned home from a vacation July 24 and found signs of a break-in and evidence that someone tried to light the house on fire.
Poisson had been working for the man on residential construction sites until the two got into an argument at a job site, according to the probable cause document. The boss became concerned about Poisson’s behavior, told him there was no more work and went on vacation to California.
