Prosecutors said the fire began shortly before 3 p.m. on July 24, 2024, when Stout pushed a burning vehicle down an embankment near Alligator Hole in Chico's Upper Bidwell Park, igniting nearby vegetation.
The fire ultimately burned 429,603 acres across Butte and Tehama counties, making it California's fourth-largest wildfire on record by acreage.
Butte County courts confirmed that Stout had been found guilty of arson of forest land in the case on Friday.
Prosecutors previously said Stout could face 25 years to life in prison if the conviction is treated as his third strike under California law.
