(Rock Island, IL) -- Another man charged in the Rock Island Livestock Auction Barn fire is pleading guilty.

Twenty-two year-old Matthew Wooddell of East Moline is entering a guilty plea to one count of arson. He'll be sentenced in January.

Kadon Svec was sentenced to three years after pleading guilty to arson in the case last month.

The February 24th fire destroyed multiple buildings on the property.

Prosecutors say video footage showed the three suspects at the scene, and boarding a Metrolink bus nearby.
