An Arizona firefighter has been charged with arson after allegedly confessing to setting multiple fires across two counties over the past few weeks, according to the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities identified Karson Nutter, 18, on Friday as the key suspect in the investigation of eight arson events – four structure fires and four wildfires – in Yavapai and Coconino counties since June 15. A small fire on Thursday led deputies and detectives to tie a suspect to that fire and several others, according to a news release.
CNN has reached out to the Ash Fork Fire Department for comment. Nutter, who is a firefighter in Ash Fork, Arizona, became a key suspect during interviews early on in the investigation, the sheriff’s office’s release stated. Officials also said Nutter provided “deceptive and misleading information” in his statements. Deputies obtained a full confession from Nutter Thursday night regarding his involvement in at least seven of the eight fires, according to the sheriff’s office.
