SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A judge has ruled that a Sioux Falls man was mentally ill when he set a vacant house on fire in January 2014.

Twenty-three-year-old Jeremy Larsen pleaded guilty earlier this year to reckless burning, but the plea was vacated amid questions about his mental health.

The Argus Leader reports ( ) that Judge Susan Sabers on Tuesday listened to testimony from four psychologists before making her ruling.

Larsen is now expected to plead guilty but mentally ill.
