A Roseville man convicted of setting fire to a home while his parents were trapped inside has received a stayed prison sentence and will serve probation instead of prison time.
Andrew Michael Alvarez, 29, was sentenced Feb. 27 after pleading guilty to first-degree arson of a dwelling stemming from a June 2, 2025 fire in Roseville.
Court records show the judge imposed an 81-month prison sentence but stayed execution for five years, placing Alvarez on probation unless he violates supervision terms. As part of the plea agreement, two charges of attempted second-degree murder filed in the case were dismissed at sentencing. If Alvarez violates probation, the court could execute the previously imposed 81-month prison sentence.
