The fires in question burned 128 acres. Graham was charged with 15 counts of committing arson, two of which were heightened charges because the fires were started during a declared emergency.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom was forced to
declare a statewide emergency on Sunday after approximately 200,000 people were evacuated as fires approached their homes.
After landing in California, Graham rented a vehicle to drive out to at-risk areas, authorities say, and was caught after a concerned citizen saw the vehicle near a fire and reported the license plate.
