Students Admit to Setting Fire
Four Michigan Technological
University students have admitted to being involved in a fire that was
set on campus early Friday morning, MTU Director of Public Safety Jon
Ahola has announced.
At about 2 a.m. Friday, a student
spotted a small fire on the roof of Wadsworth Hall cafeteria and notified
Public Safety. A plastic bottle stuffed with paper was found burning on
the roof and extinguished by the Houghton Fire Department. The suspects have not yet been
arrested, and their names are being withheld pending the authorization
of charges by the Houghton County prosecutor's office, which is closed
for Veterans' Day. Public Safety will bring its report to the prosecutor
on Tuesday, Ahola said. ###
