Two people are now facing charges in connection to a series of fires set inside a Walmart in Berrien County. 36-year-old Paula Kryski and 34-year-old Stephen Taghon, both from South Bend Indiana, were arrested on Wednesday and are charged with 3rd degree arson and 3rd degree retail fraud. Taghon is also being charged with committing larceny in a building. The two are believed to have started a fire in the clothing department of the Niles Walmart on South 11th Street on October 31st. Similar arsons also occurred at the same store on April 26th, June 13th and July 19th but it's unclear if they're all connected or the same suspects. Kryski and Taghon will be extradited to Michigan.
