ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) -- A South Carolina man has pleaded guilty to a charge in connection with a torch march that occurred at the University of Virginia in 2017.

Tyler Bradley Dykes entered a guilty plea to burning an object with the intent to intimidate on Thursday.

He was sentenced to five years in prison, with four and a half years of that suspended.

Dykes is the second person to plead guilty.
