Man gets 10 years for setting stranger on fire — A man who set a 69-year-old stranger on fire at a Denny’s restaurant near Portland has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. Deshaun Swanger, 25, pleaded guilty Monday to attempting to murder Scott Ranstrom at the restaurant in Happy Valley last year. He also pleaded guilty to assaulting a second man, who said he suffered minor burns, and harassing a third man in a movie theater days before the Denny’s attack. Swanger didn’t speak at length in court. He was arrested last April after walking into the restaurant, sitting in a booth near Ranstrom, dousing him in gasoline and using a match to ignite the fuel. Ranstrom was treated at a hospital burn center. He said he doesn’t think the sentence is lengthy enough.
