Jesper Joergensen was arrested without incident by Costilla County MPs on Saturday on charges of arson related to the Spring Fire, the sheriff's office announced.
Joergensen is not a US citizen and will remain in detention until he has put in place a bond or has completed all the court processes, after which he will be handed over to the agents of immigration and customs. CNN was unable to find a contact for Joergensen or a lawyer.
Spring fire ignited on June 27 about 5 miles east of Fort Garland, Colorado, according to the Inciweb website. The fire forced evacuations of nearly 600 homes in Costilla County and about 1,500 homes in Huerfano County, said Inciweb. A total of 480 firefighters assigned and support staff worked to contain it.
