Man accused of setting fire to his parents' Kennewick home after being kicked out

A 47-year-old man is accused of burning down his parents’ home in mid-October because he was mad at them. Thomas S. Anderson has a history of mental illness, drug use and criminal behavior. His actions landed him with the only people who would take him in after getting evicted from charity housing, according to court documents. But his behavior led to his parents forcing him to leave their 11th Avenue home. After that, he allegedly burned down a shed, two cars and part of the home, court documents said. Prosecutors charged Anderson in Benton County Superior Court with first-degree arson. He is currently being held in the Benton County jail on $50,000 bail. While Anderson allegedly has schizophrenia and paranoid delusions, it’s not clear if the case will be paused so he can get a mental health evaluation. Charges came as the two victims in the case, an 83-year-old man and a 78-year-old woman, asked for protection orders against Anderson due to an alleged pattern of destroying personal items whenever he would get mad. “He has caused so much damage to our home and property, even broken windows and blamed others for what he’s done,” one of his victims wrote
