A 60-year-old Sturgeon Bay woman accused of burning down a barn last month will be back in court in three weeks after pleading not guilty.
Donna Jo Franklin is charged with arson of a building without the owner's consent, with an increased penalty because the alleged victim is elderly, after she allegedly set a barn on fire in the 1400 block of North Eighth Avenue on June 10 just before 9 p.m.
The fire was deemed suspicious by the Sturgeon Bay Fire Department and the State Fire Marshal's Office, prompting an investigation that led to Franklin's arrest on June 15.
After pleading not guilty on June 25, a status conference was scheduled for 1:30 p.m. July 23.
