Oregonian:

Investigators believe a 13-year-old Sandy boy waged a four-month reign of arson and chain saw destruction that caused crashes on U.S. 26 and blacked out residential neighborhoods east of Sandy.

The slight, brown-haired seventh-grader sat silently Wednesday in Clackamas County Juvenile Court as Judge Deanne L. Darling explained that he could face several years of juvenile detention if convicted. He is charged with burglary, arson, criminal mischief and reckless burning in a March 15 fire that burned a shed.

Meanwhile, Clackamas County sheriff's detectives are investigating the boy in the illegal cutting of 20 trees and power poles during late-night chain saw forays.
