A Columbia man has been arrested in connection with a barn fire that
killed more than 80 head of cattle last year.

Derrick E. Getz, 18, of 4852 Marietta Ave., Columbia, was arrested
Friday by Susquehanna Regional Police. He was charged with
ecoterrorism, two counts of arson, causing or risking catastrophe,
burglary, criminal mischief, agricultural vandalism and two counts of
cruelty to animals.
