(KTXL) – A man accused of starting the Park Fire in California — which had grown to over 164,000 acres as of Friday — was arrested Thursday morning at his home, according to the Butte County District Attorney's Office.
Ronnie Stout, 42, of Chico, California, was arrested on one count of arson, though enhancements (i.e., additional allegations that could lead to a more severe sentence) have yet to be determined, District Attorney Mike Ramsay said at a news conference Thursday afternoon.
