CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The man charged with having more than one thousand tires without a permit will spend up to five years in prison.

A judge sentenced Ricky Handley on Wednesday to one to five years in prison. He will start serving the sentence immediately.

DEP inspectors say Handley kept the tires at a warehouse in Nitro that caught fire two years ago. The fire burned for almost a day and it took more than a million gallons of water to put out the fire.

Handley pleaded guilty to the charges back in July.
