This isn't the first time Burkett has found himself in trouble. Burkett was accused of being a serial arsonist in DuBois back in 2018.

Sandy Township Police investigated six different fires at the Country Place Trailer Court that took place from February 16 to May 30 in 2018. Thankfully, the homes were all vacant at the time they were set on fire.

Burkett would ultimately plead guilty in the case and was sentenced to 13 months in state prison, along with having to pay $15,000 in restitution.

At the sentencing, Burkett told the judge he was “not a bad person” and that he was sorry. Surveillance footage caught him at the residence on May 30 walking from his address to the trailer that was ablaze, then back again to his residence. He confessed to all the fires when questioned.

More details to come on his pending murder charge along with any details given surrounding the murder.
