PARIS -- The 12-year-old boy charged with burning down the wooden Perham Field Grandstand at the athletic complex in West Paris in July is due to be in juvenile court today.

The boy has not been identified due to his age. He was charged by investigator Chris Stafford on Aug. 5 for the fire, which destroyed the popular landmark on July 24.
