STURGEON BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The man who allegedly set fire to a Door County supper club pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect Wednesday.
Jonathan Polich, 33, is charged with two counts of arson of a building without owner’s consent for the Oct. 23 fire at Mr. G’s Supper Club.
After waiving a preliminary hearing, the so-called insanity plea was issued, court records show. The plea means the defense contends Polich couldn’t discern right from wrong due to a mental disease.
A psychiatric evaluation will be performed. A tentative date of March 3 has been set to review the results. No trial date has been set.
