PHOTO - A Grand Rapids man is jailed awaiting arraignment on Thursday after police said he sets fires, tried to break into a pharmacy and rammed an Emmett Township fire engine just before midnight Monday. Court records show Kenneth H. Smith Jr., 30, is being held and should be arraigned in Calhoun County District Court on Thursday afternoon. Prosecutor David Gilbert said Wednesday charges have been authorized of fleeing and eluding police and fourth-degree arson. More charges are expected; they could include malicious destruction of a fire engine, resisting arrest, breaking and entering and attempting to escape police custody.
