He's held on $1 million bond. The court couldn't say Friday morning whether he had a lawyer.
A witness told police he saw Marvin leave the fireworks store and send a lit firework into the building. They say he set fire to a bag of stuffed animals at a nearby apartment and stole an SUV.
Investigators say he then broke into a home, showered and stole another car. He was caught driving the wrong way down a street.
