Justin Wayne Halstenberg, 34, is alleged to have set off three different fires last week, San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus said Thursday.
One of those fires evolved into the Line Fire, that has continued to burn after eight days, while the other two were contained.
According to Dicus, investigators were able to tie Halstenberg to the scene of all three fires.
The investigation was indicative of “significant arson behavior” and it is possible Halstenberg could be tied to other fires, Dicus said.
If convicted on the aggravated arson charge, Halstenberg could be sentenced between 10 years to life in prison.
