Buck-Hayes Gets 40 Years for Fire Attack

A shocking arson attack in Danville sent City Councilman Lee Vogler to the burn unit, and the perpetrator, Shotsie Buck-Hayes, just received a 35-year sentence — the max allowed under Virginia law — after pleading guilty to attempted murder and aggravated assault. The judge suspended part of the sentence, but Buck-Hayes’ legal team is already preparing an appeal, citing his non-citizen status and potential deportation to the UK. He’s also permanently barred from contacting the Vogler family. This wasn’t a random act — prosecutors say he planned it by driving to buy gas before the attack. Vogler, just 24 when elected, is still recovering from life-altering injuries. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
