Toledo, Ohio: Michael Sykes may get plea deal

A plea bargain could be in the works to resolve criminal charges against the Lambertville teenager accused of setting fires that caused more than $500,000 damage to unfinished homes in Bedford Township, his attorney said in court yesterday.

Michael W. Sykes, 17, of 7472 Canterbury Drive, appeared in Monroe County District Court for a pretrial hearing on arson and home invasion charges stemming from a March 14 fire that destroyed a house being built on Brentridge Lane.

At the request of the youth's attorney, Judge Mark Braunlich waived a preliminary exam scheduled for Monday.
