Man arrested on suspicion of starting largest wildfire in California this year charged with arson
FOREST RANCH, Calif. (AP) — The man arrested on suspicion of starting the Park Fire, the largest wildfire in California this year, by pushing a burning car into a gully made his first appearance in court Monday and was charged with arson.
Ronnie Dean Stout II had a previous criminal record, according to the Butte County District Attorney’s office. If convicted, this would be his third felony, and he would be automatically sentenced to 25 years to life in prison as someone with three felonies under California’s “three strikes law.”
Prosecutors said witnesses saw Stout push the burning car down an embankment and then calmly blend among people fleeing the area.
Stout served a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted in 2002 in Southern California’s Kern County of robbery with great bodily injury, prosecutors said. A year earlier, he was convicted in Butte County of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14, the office said.
