WARREN — A Leavittsburg arsonist who surrendered to authorities because he continued to hear the moans of cows in his mind after he'd torched a large dairy farm was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Roddy M. Rudkin Jr., 22, of Briggs Road, pleaded guilty Thursday in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court to 24 charges, including four counts of aggravated arson. The other charges were vandalism, breaking and entering, injuring animals, and burglary.

Judge Peter J. Kontos immediately sentenced him to the 12-year prison term.

One of the farm fires Rudkin admitted setting destroyed two barns and killed 52 cows at the David Klingensmith dairy farm June 24, 2005, on Nelson Mosier Road in Leavittsburg.

David Klingensmith placed the loss at $500,000.

Chuck Morrow, an assistant county prosecutor, said the Klingensmith farm had some of the best milk-producing dairy cows in the state.

Another barn fire was started May 17, 2005, at 5800 Park Road in Warren Township that killed 12 horses and a donkey and resulted in more than $100,000 damage.

Haunted by the moans...
