A Mount Pleasant man has admitted to a violent firebombing in a Brighton Township neighborhood and a series of related child-sex crimes, pleading guilty May 1 to eight felony counts tied to a November 28, 2025 Molotov cocktail attack, according to county investigators. Deputies say several homemade firebombs were hurled at a home that night, but quick-thinking neighbors grabbed hoses and doused the flames before the fire could spread. Investigators later connected the attack to what they described as an ongoing stalking and harassment case involving a minor. Sentencing is set for May 28.
