Security cameras captured James Lofton dousing his jacket with an accelerant and lighting it in November 2022. The station erupted in flames.
Chicago firefighters said they put out the fire at 2111 West Roosevelt Road quickly with hand pumps.
In February 2025, Lofton pled guilty to depredation of government property.
Nearly three years later, a judge sentenced him to 22 months, considering the time he has already served.
He will be on supervised release for three years after completing his time.
Lofton was ordered to bay $3,900 in restitution.
No injuries were reported.
