A 24-year-old Algoma man is facing multiple felonies and misdemeanors after he allegedly tried setting a home on fire in the city earlier this month.

Filed in Kewaunee County Circuit Court on August 16th, Zackarie J. Clark was charged with three counts of burglary of a building, two counts of arson of a building, one count of misdemeanor theft, one count of obstructing an officer, and four counts of misdemeanor bail jumping.

On August 5th, Kewaunee County Dispatch responded to an early morning call that Clark attempted to break into a vehicle before entering a garage to break windows and light a home on fire in the 1000 block of Division Street. The house was unoccupied as it went under renovation by the Jandu family. While the Algoma Fire Department took care of the fire, the Algoma Police Department worked with the Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department, the Kewaunee Police Department, and a Brown County Sheriff’s Department Canine Unit to track down Clark after he fled the scene on foot. Clark was arrested just before 5 a.m. After further investigation, they found hand tools that he had stolen in his vehicle.

He was placed into jail on a $25,000 bond on August 5th, and he had his initial appearance at the Kewaunee County Courthouse Thursday morning.
