Federal prosecutors in Mobile are seeking millions of dollars in restitution and prison time and for defendants they consider most culpable for a string of Walmart arsons two years ago.
Seven of eight defendants are scheduled to be sentenced Friday, but that may not happen. A daylong evidentiary hearing Thursday will spill over into Friday and could take the batter part of the day, according to lawyers involved in the case.
“He got an earful today,” said Barre Dumas, an attorney for Quinton Olson. “He’ll get another earful tomorrow.” The case involves a string of fires that occurred in May and June 2021. Two stores in Mobile and two along the Mississippi Gulf Coast sustained damage, while media organizations received a mysterious manifesto entitled “Declaration of War and Demands for the People” Sikes admitted that he directed the creation of that seven-page document, which demanded better working conditions and higher pay for Walmart employees, among other things.
Prosecutors are seeking prison time for Sikes and several other defendants, as well as $6.3 million in restitution.
