So I set fire to a homeless guys tent because he owed me money and now I been charged with Crim damage by fire. Wondering if anyone knows if I'll get jail time, I'm up on other charges stealing, making threats to injure and breaching court orders. Just wondering what sentence usually gets given for this offence.

Hey mate, you need a lawyer and from what you wrote, they are all major crimes, I doubt you will be out. I am not a lawyer but from what you wrote, you seem to be a danger to others.
Get a lawyer and prepare yourself. You don't seem of sound character.

She probably provided drugs and hasn't received the money for the drugs.

Given your other posts you're going to Jail. You're on a conditional suspended sentence and you are continuing to commit violent offences.
