GROSSE POINTE PARK, Mich. – 
A 20-year-old man, accused of firebombing the suburban Detroit home of an heir to the Art Van Furniture business, appeared in court.
Charles Patterson Kay of Grosse Pointe Park was charged for allegedly firebombing the home of Gary and Janet Van Eslander.
Friday, at 3:30 a.m. a "Molotov cocktail" was thrown through the side window of the home of the home located on the 700 block of Whittier in Grosse Pointe Park.
The firebomb damaged a kitchen window and started a fire that was put out before firefighters arrived. Van Elslander, his wife and other family members were inside.
Police say their investigation at the scene led to the arrested of Kay. The facts of the case will be presented in court at the preliminary examination.

Kay is being charged with second degree arson, and sending explosives with intent causing damage, which are each punishable up to 20 years. He is also being charged with possession of a Molotov cocktail.
