Shasta County man sentenced to 35 years to life for Molotov cocktail attack

Blue Firecloud Abreu was sentenced to 35 years to life in prison on Friday afternoon in a Shasta County courtroom. The Shasta County District Attorney said Abreu was found guilty of three felony charges, including assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a flammable device, and attempted arson of property.
