LOS ANGELES—A 20-year-old West Hills man who started a fire that caused substantial damage to a Santa Monica sushi restaurant last year pleaded guilty this week to a federal charge.

Micah Tillmon entered his plea to possession of an unregistered destructive device, in particular an incendiary device, a charge that carries a sentence of up to 10 years in federal prison, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
