Local contractor fixing up Halgren house
Longtime scofflaw gets 4 years of probation for setting his home on fire
ROCK FALLS – Efforts are under way to fix up the dilapidated, fire-damaged home that once belonged to Ronald Halgren, city officials said Tuesday.
The city sold the home at 812 Ave. A to Richard Finnicum, owner of American Construction in Sterling, for $450 on Dec. 9.
The next day, Halgren entered an Alford plea – meaning he didn't accept guilt but admitted that prosecutors had enough evidence to convict him – on an arson charge in Whiteside County Court.
