Arsonist Pleads Guilty, Will Have Fines to Pay from His Salary as a Firefighter

Filed under: Business, Just Outrageous! — Posted by Fancy Pants on February 17th, 2006


Thirty-two year old Craig Matthew Underwood of California has pleaded guilty to intentionally starting three separate forest fires, torching more than 750 acres in the Los Padres National Forest…. where he worked as a U.S. Forest Service firefighter.

Guess it was his version of the firefighter’s full employment act.
