Two Men Plead Guilty In Logan, W.V. Arson Scheme

Two men entered guilty pleas in federal court Wednesday in connection with a Logan arson scheme.
James Gregory Glick, and co-defendant Guy R. Miller, 39, both pleaded guilty to arson and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, according to a news release from U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin’s Office. Glick, 44, of Logan, also pleaded guilty to conducting unlawful monetary transactions, and structuring currency transactions in connection with the scheme. In November 2011, Glick, a former Logan city councilman, arranged to have an office building located at 111 Stratton St. in Logan burned to collect more than $1 million in insurance proceeds. In late December 2011, the building was purchased by a known person for $45,000 prior to the scheme. That person, in turn, immediately sold the property to Glick in early January 2012 purportedly for $50,000.
