The man, identified as 29-year-old Jonathan Rinderknecht, was arrested on suspicion of "maliciously" starting the blaze that later became the Palisades Fire, according to acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli. A criminal complaint shows that he'll be charged with Destruction of Property by Means of Fire, but Essayli added that additional charges may be added.
"He is charged with starting the Palisades Fire. He started it on Jan. 1," Essayli said.
According to Essayli, investigations into Rinderknecht revealed that he was working as an Uber driver in the neighborhood where the Lachman Fire started. After dropping off a rider, he allegedly started the fire on a nearby hiking trail.
Rinderknecht is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Orlando, Florida, at 1:30 p.m. local time Wednesday.
