Josephine County Sheriff Dave Daniel said three citizens captured the man, who allegedly used a lighter to start the fire.
The first deputy on scene found the suspect handcuffed with zip-ties and tied to a tree. The suspect, Daniel said, had injuries as a result of what constituted a citizen's arrest.
"You play stupid games and win stupid prizes," Daniel said of the suspect, adding, "He played a stupid game and lost."
The suspect, whose name was not immediately available, was on probation in Lane County, Daniel said. He was turned over to Curry County sheriff's deputies but may be prosecuted in federal court. The area is near the confluence of three counties — Curry, Douglas and Josephine — but apparently on federally managed land.
"I don't know why he was in the area," Daniel said of the suspect. "The belief right now is this was a narcotic-induced incident."
Should have tied him to a burning tree or at least near one
I looked him up on Facebook and there's no sign of any motive, no antifa, no political content at all.
Motive is a mystery.

Probably a druggie with his lighter:
