 Whiteside County prosecutors filed three more felony criminal
damage counts against the brothers, who are 12 and 16. The two
already faced more than a dozen charges, including arson, for the
July fire in Prophetstown.
Authorities say the fire was set in a recycling bin behind a
restaurant in the Whiteside County city of 2,000 residents. Many of
the buildings were 150 years old.
Crews have removed rubble from the buildings that were all on the
same downtown block. [Associated
