A Lambertville youth accused of arson in the fires that destroyed two unfinished homes in Bedford Township housing developments started the fires to bring attention to the construction of new homes in the area, authorities said.
Michael W. Sykes, 17, who was arrested during last weekend's police stakeout to catch the arsonist responsible for the string of fires in the Lambertville area, was arraigned yesterday in Monroe County District Court.
He pleaded not guilty to one count each of arson and home invasion. Judge Mark Braunlich ordered the teenager held in the county jail in lieu of $1 million bond. He is scheduled to be back in court March 26 for a pretrial hearing.
