Gary Maynard, 47, taught Criminal Justice courses at Santa Clara University and Sonoma State University, FOX 40 of Sacramento reported, citing information from Maynard’s bio page on the Sonoma State website.
That page was not working on Tuesday night.
Maynard was facing charges of arson in connection with the Ranch Fire as well as unauthorized entry into a closed area, FOX 40 reported. He was arrested Saturday following an investigation that began in July, according to the station.
Court documents indicate that the Ranch Fire and six other fires started between July 6 and Aug. 7 near the Lassen National Forest and Shasta-Trinity National Forest, both in Northern California. The three most recent fires, including the Ranch Fire, started in the area of the Dixie Fire, the report said.
"The area in which Maynard chose to set his fires is near the ongoing Dixie Fire, a fire which is still not contained despite the deployment and efforts of over 5,000 personnel," Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Anderson wrote in a memo, according to FOX 40.
Anderson argued that Maynard should remain in custody pending further legal action.
Mate, remember Brazil and the screeching media going on about muh lungs of the Earth despite when looking at it there was no more serious amount of acreage burning than any other year?
What happened was Bolsoranno cut funding to a bunch of err conservation NGOs ran by the usual suspects and Macron and Merkel and Thunberg had a meltdown over it saying we need to treat amazon fires like crimes against humanity and prosecute at the ICC or some dumb shit.
Bolsoranno says OK cool, I think NGO faggot arsonists are starting the fires, I'm sending in the army now to start shooting them on sight since the jungle is so important to you all.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO they screamed don't do that. Macron apologised and sent him 7m euros or something, which buys about a third of a firefighting water carrier.
So yeah, you're right until proven otherwise, fucking anarchist arsonists. They should be shot on sight (lawfully).
