Oconto, WI - A teenager accused of setting fire to St. Anthony School in Oconto Falls will be tried as an adult.

Friday, an Oconto County judge granted a request from prosecutors to move the 16-year-old's arson case from juvenile to adult court.

The teen has admitted to setting fire to the school last month, causing about $2 million in damage.

He'll be back in court on Monday afternoon.
