Juez eleva fianza del sospechoso de incendio a 2 millones de dólares

Según la BBC, un juez de Spokane elevó la fianza de Aaron F. Farinacci a 2 millones de dólares el 7 de agosto después de que el sospechoso declarara haber elegido deliberadamente un día caluroso, seco y ventoso para iniciar el incendio Old Trails.

Farinacci, de 37 años, había sido detenido el 3 de agosto bajo una orden de incendio premeditado por el fuego que destruyó más de 800 estructuras y obligó a evacuar a decenas de miles de personas, informaron las autoridades. Posteriormente, los fiscales añadieron cargos por 25 incendios adicionales cerca del Riverside State Park y señalaron que había investigado las condiciones climáticas y construido un dispositivo de retardo antes de prender el fuego, según reportaron AP y medios locales.
