Tre Arrow Sentenced to 78 Months in Federal Prison for Pair of 2001 Arsons

Portland , Ore. —Tre Arrow, formerly known as Michael J. Scarpitti, 34, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge James A. Redden to 78 months in federal prison for his part in two arsons in 2001. Arrow earlier pleaded guilty, acknowledging he set fire to cement-mixing trucks at Ross Island Sand and Gravel Company in Portland on April 15, 2001, and logging trucks at Schoppert Logging Company in Eagle Creek on June 1, 2001. Arrow’s three co-defendants pled guilty in 2003 and have each completed 41-month prison terms.

In Arrow’s case, Judge Redden increased the ordinary 60-month mandatory minimum term for arson based on a finding that Arrow committed the arsons in an aggravated manner calculated to influence or affect the conduct of the victims by intimidation, coercion and retaliation. The court also ordered Arrow to pay restitution of $101,057.09 for the Ross Island arson and $53,500 for the arson at Schoppert Logging, jointly and severally with his codefendants. Arrow waived the right to appeal his sentence.

After completing his prison term, Arrow will be on supervised release for three years. In addition to reporting to a U.S. probation officer and meeting other conditions, Arrow must maintain full employment and a stable residence, and will be prohibited from knowingly associating with individuals and groups, such as the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) and the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), which engage in or advocate criminal activity.

Originally indicted in August 2002, Arrow became an international fugitive and eluded authorities until his arrest for shoplifting in Victoria, British Columbia, on March 13, 2004. He unsuccessfully resisted extradition and was returned to the United States on February 29, 2008. Federal law requires that Arrow receive credit for time served in Canada awaiting extradition.

“The sentencing of Tre Arrow closes the final chapter in a seven-year effort for justice in these cases,” U.S. Attorney Karin J. Immergut stated. “Arrow and his three co-defendants have admitted their guilt and received just punishment for their crimes,” she added.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen F. Peifer.
