The case against a local college student charged with setting a string of arsons in Chautauqua County is heading to trial.

A grand jury has now indicted Jonathan Young, 19, on 14 counts of arson.

Investigators say Young set a dozen fires earlier this year, including a massive fire in Falconer on March 22nd.

Young was a student at Jamestown Community College.

No one was hurt in any of the fires.
