CB Firefighter Pleads to Setting Jag on Fire

Henry Hinkel of Council Bluffs pleaded guilty to felony providing false information. He's a Council Bluffs firefighter who was facing an arson charge for setting his own car on fire outside his house. His attorney said the arson charge was dropped for the lesser charge, and that was so he could keep his job with the department. Police said the firefighter set his Jaguar on fire last July, as the car was parked out of the line of sight of his home's security camera. Investigators said Hinkel set the car on fire for the money. He was sentenced to two years unsupervised probation.
