According to federal prosecutors, Lyndell Leroy Price, 44, pleaded guilty on June 11 to conspiracy to commit arson at Bar 5015, a business on Almeda Road owned by his former business partner.

Additionally, the fire occurred in the early morning hours of June 12, 2020. And, prosecutors said Price led several people to buy gasoline and gas cans before traveling to Bar 5015. They reportedly wore face coverings, poured gasoline around the business’s entrance ramp and deck, set it on fire, and fled. The fire caused extensive damage and endangered homes, businesses and the nearby electricity network. Prosecutors also said the people involved were paid by Price after they reported the work was done. During the sentencing, prosecutors described Price as having an unchecked ego, arguing that it was because the business owner was refusing to accede to his demands. The court also heard that Price had received six sanctions while in custody in connection with the case.

However, U.S. District Judge Sim Lake ultimately sentenced him to more than eight years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release. He was also ordered to participate in an anger management program. Price showed little emotion during the sentencing and reportedly said, “Love you, thank you,” as he left the courtroom.
Meanwhile, four other men from Houston related to the plot – John Lee Price, Armani Williams, Miziah Shepherd and Javon Harris – pleaded guilty to the same charge and are awaiting sentencing. Lyndell Price will remain in custody pending his transfer to a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility.
