Man Accused of Traveling From Missouri to Spark Bay Area Fires Charged With 15 Arson Counts
KTLA ^ | 09/27/2019

Freddie Owen Graham of Lone Jack, Missouri, was jailed Thursday on $500,000 bail.

Authorities say he set 13 fires on Friday and Saturday Although the blazes caused no injuries or structural damage, they took dozens of firefighters using aircraft, bulldozers and other equipment hours to extinguish. One blaze, near the Calaveras Reservoir, blackened less than a quarter of a square mile.

Prosecutors say Graham drove through a foothill area northeast of San Jose, throwing flaming paper out of his car as he went.

Graham, who traveled to California from the Kansas City, Missouri, suburb of Lone Jack, has no obvious connection to California, and authorities couldn’t say what might have motivated him to start the fires.

The DU crowd is all over this as a MAGA-hat wearing redneck targeting “Cali libs”.

Turns out he’s a California native and registered Democrat. I suspect we won’t see many updates on his crimes.

Maybe not the world but all you have to do is watch the US news to see a fire.

I guess I can’t edit it. Perhaps a mod will do the honors?

Where do they get the finger prints? Aren’t they burned in the fire?
