(Eden) An Eden man facing multiple charges of Arson in Fond du Lac County entered guilty pleas during a court hearing this week. Daniel Enright was facing seven felony charges for the suspicious fires.
He pled guilty to two counts each of Intentionally Setting Fire to Another’s Land and Arson. Three other charges were read into the record and dismissed. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for March 1st.
The first suspicious fire was investigated in March of 2020. Eventually Enright was arrested last February. The criminal complaint says he admitted to lighting fires in the area over a three year period.
He told investigators he lit fires to relieve stress, which included the birth of his child three years ago. The 40-year-old also admitted starting a fire after arguing with his fiancée. Fires were set in grassy brush marsh type of areas.
Enright faces a similar charge in Washington County. A hearing in that case is scheduled for next week.
