STROUDSBURG -- The owner of a restaurant in the Poconos will spend two years in federal prison for hiring someone to torch the place.

Theodoros Kyriakopolous was sentenced Wednesday for the arson at Dana's Restaurant and Tavern in Tobyhanna back in 2011.

Authorities say the man from the Philadelphia area paid someone $25,000 to burn the business in order to collect insurance money.

Kyriakopolous must also pay $46,100 in restitution.
