BOWLING GREEN — A Perrysburg Township woman was sentenced Friday to 13 years in prison for shooting a Northwood man to death inside his home last December.
Sarah Bunch, 21, pleaded guilty Oct. 2 to amended charges of voluntary manslaughter, arson, and attempted tampering with evidence stemming from the Dec. 8 death of Robert Porter, 60, a long-time carpenter at the University of Toledo.
Bunch maintained she killed him in self-defense.
Prosecutors said Bunch had agreed to pose seminude for Mr. Porter, who lived near her grandmother's house where she had been staying. Bunch told investigators that he became aggressive with her during the photo shoot in his bedroom, and she shot him twice in the head. Later the same day, she set his West Andrus Road home on fire.
