 Saginaw,
MI: Hearing delayed for suspects charged in Home Depot Arsons
Two men accused in the intentionally set fires at Home Depot stores in Saginaw
and Genesee counties will have to wait longer to see if they will stand trial in
Saginaw County. Tuesday was the day scheduled for the preliminary hearing for
Furline, 37, and Jenkins, 50, who are charged with conducting a continuing
criminal enterprise and other felonies in connection with Oct. 29 and Oct. 28
fires at Home Depots in Kochville Township and Genesee County. The criminal
enterprise charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. In addition
to that charge, the men face single counts of third-degree arson and
first-degree retail fraud and separate counts of conspiring to commit those two
offenses. Investigators believe the Oct. 29 fire at the Home Depot in Kochville
Twp. was intentionally set in the insulation aisle to disguise a theft at the
store. A fire Oct. 28 at a Home Depot near Flint burned under similar
circumstances. That evening, they returned the merchandise to a different Home
Depot store in Genesee County and received cash in exchange.
