A man has been arrested in connection with a deadly wildfire that destroyed much of the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood in Los Angeles, California.
Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, was detained for allegedly starting a fire on New Year’s Day that burned down much of the wealthy area a week later, acting US attorney Bill Essayli said.
The blaze killed 12 people and destroyed more than 6,000 homes and buildings.
Rinderknecht was arrested on Tuesday in Florida and will appear in court on Wednesday in that state.
