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

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.
