HOWLAND — The Howland Police Department has arrested the 16-year-old boy it earlier questioned regarding fires intentionally set at John F. Kennedy High School and nearby homes on Sept. 24.

Authorities have declined to identify the boy because he is a juvenile.

Ken Nussle, Warren fire chief, said Howland police charged the boy with setting the two Howland fires from that night and placed him in the Trumbull County Juvenile Justice Center in Warren.
