(KNZA)--A former Jackson County volunteer firefighter, accused of setting a string of grass fires, has pleaded no contest to charges.
The Holton Recorder reports 27-year-old Jacob Grant entered the plea last week in Jackson County District Court to three counts of arson.
In exchange for the plea, 10 other arson counts were dismissed.
Sentencing was set for May 11th.
Grant was arrested March 21st following an investigation by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department.
Authorities say Grant alleged set numerous grass fires between February 28th and March 20th in southwestern Jackson County, and then responded as a member of the Delia Fire Department.
Grant remains in the Jackson County Jail.
