U.S. District Judge Terry Moorer imposed four-year prison sentences on two women married to co-conspirators. Erica Sikes is married to admitted mastermind Jeffery Sikes, whom the judgeMoorer sentenced Mikayla Scheele, who admitted setting the fires, to two years in prison.
Scheele faced a minimum of three years and a month under advisory sentencing guidelines. But she benefited from her early and deep cooperation with law enforcement investigators. Sikes has admitted to orchestrating the arson scheme after fleeing Nebraska in 2018 to avoid sentencing in a federal fraud case there and renting a home in Lillian. Hedelivered to local media organizations demanding Walmart implement higher pay, improved benefits, better working conditions and other changes.
Scheele has a driving under the in fluence conviction from Nebraska and several scrapes with the juvenile justice system. Lockwood wrote in the sentencing memo that his client’s parents kicked her out of the home after she got pregnant and that after her relationship with the child’s father fell apart, she moved in with Jeffery and Erica Sikes.
