A man who authorities say ran from a security guard and sprayed a fire extinguisher at him during a major fire at a northern Michigan ski resort has reached a plea agreement. The Emmet County prosecutor’s office says David Soltysiak, 31, of Petoskey pleaded no contest today to second-degree arson and felonious assault. A no contest plea isn’t an admission of guilt but is treated as such for sentencing. He’s been ordered held without bond. Twelve people were injured Dec. 11 in a fire at the main lodge at Boyne Highlands.
