A Grapevine man will spend over 30 years in prison after being found guilty of setting a neighbor's porch on fire following a complaint about his loud music.
According to the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office, a jury found 44-year-old David Alferez guilty of arson intended to damage a habitat in connection with an incident that occurred on Dec. 17, 2022.
The district attorney's office said Alferez, who was playing loud music in his trailer, was upset when his neighbor asked him to turn down his music.
