佛罗里达人因涉嫌引发致命太平洋帕利塞德火灾被捕

摘要

29岁的乔纳森·林德内赫特因涉嫌在洛杉矶引发太平洋帕利塞德火灾被捕,该火灾造成12人死亡,超过6000栋建筑被毁。

联邦当局逮捕了29岁的佛罗里达居民乔纳森·林德内赫特,涉嫌与2025年1月摧毁洛杉矶的太平洋帕利塞德火灾有关。此次火灾夺去了12条生命,摧毁了6000多栋建筑,成为该市最具破坏性的野火之一。

根据美国检察官办公室的说法,林德内赫特涉嫌于2025年1月1日在完成一次优步(Uber)工作后,用打火机点燃了徒步小径附近的植被。火灾最初在地下悄然燃烧,后于1月7日因大风复燃,导致大范围破坏。

调查人员通过视频证据和他拨打911报警火灾的电话将林德内赫特与火灾联系起来。现场还发现了一只与他车内打火机相匹配的打火机。此外,当局指出,事件发生数月前,林德内赫特曾使用ChatGPT生成一幅描绘燃烧森林和逃离人群的图像,显示其对火灾有预谋的迷恋。

“虽然我们无法抹去所造成的损失和破坏,但我们希望他的逮捕和对他的指控能为这场可怕悲剧的受害者带来一定的正义,”代理美国检察官比尔·埃萨伊利说道。

洛杉矶市长卡伦·巴斯对逮捕事件发表评论称:“九个多月前,我们的城市经历了该地区有史以来最具破坏性的时期之一。生命惨遭夺去,成千上万的家园被毁。我们的英勇消防员不眠不休地奋力扑灭火灾。每一天家庭被迫流离失所都是过长的一天。在我们不懈努力让洛杉矶人回家之际,我们也在努力寻求结案和正义——今天是这一进程中的一步。”

林德内赫特在佛罗里达被捕,预计将于周三出庭。如果被定罪,他将面临联邦监禁的强制最低刑期五年,最高可达二十年。
