A 60-year-old Rock Hill woman has been sentenced to five years probation after a Chester County jury Wednesday found her guilty of arson and presenting false claims for payment after a house fire in 2004, according to a spokesman for the S.C. Attorney General’s office.

Brenda J. Gallman, 60, of 122 N. Confederate Ave., was found guilty of setting fire to her home that was going into foreclosure in Chester County in May 2004, then filing a claim on her homeowner’s insurance policy the following day, according to a written release from Mark Plowden, spokesman for the Attorney General’s office that prosecuted Gallman.
