Three people are accused of setting fire to a building at a closed prison camp in Jackson County.
Two Chelsea residents, 20-year-old Thomas James Mathis and 21-year-old Kendra Glenn Nelson, and 20-year-old Salina Maria-Juanita Delarosa of Grass Lake, have been arraigned on charges including arson of real property.
The charges stem from a June 6 fire at Camp Waterloo in Waterloo Township, 60 miles west of Detroit. Damage was limited to an administrative building.
The Jackson Citizen Patriot says Camp Waterloo housed about 1,000 German prisoners of war during World War II. The state Department of Corrections closed the camp about eight years ago.
The suspects face preliminary hearings July 27. A phone inquiry about whether they had attorneys was left at the Michigan State Police post at Jackson.
