Princeton 16 Year Old Held For Grand Jury On Arson
A 16 year old Princeton boy was bound over to the Mercer County grand jury on nine counts of arson tied to fires dating to late 1965. The youth allegedly took money from Lloyd Leon Nichols 21 a member of the East River Volunteer Fire Department to start blazes and make false alarm calls. Nichols was arrested last week and bonded for a preliminary hearing while the youth was among several questioned in theft cases linked to the fires.
