A man has pleaded guilty to setting fires in 2010 in Dixon County in northeast Nebraska.

31-year-old Ahren Ferris, of Coleridge, pleaded guilty last week to one count of second-degree arson and three counts of criminal mischief.

Sentencing is set for August 27 in Dixon County District Court in Ponca.

Ferris was accused of setting fire to outdoor restrooms at Buckskin Hills Recreational Area near Newcastle and Powder Creek Recreational Area in rural Dixon County, and to hay bales and a trailer near Maskell.
