A former college professor was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday for
allegedly starting four wildfires in Northern California earlier this year that
threatened to trap firefighters as they battled a massive fire nearby, federal
prosecutors said. 




Gary Stephen Maynard, 47, faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for
each count of arson to federal property, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
Eastern District of California said in a statement. 

According to court documents, Maynard’s alleged arson spree included blazes he
started in July and August behind crews fighting the Dixie Fire, which became
the second biggest wildfire in California history, scorching more than 1,500
square miles  and destroying more than 1,000 structures.

Federal prosecutors say Maynard, a resident of San Jose, set four blazes: the
Cascade and Everitt fires, on July 20 and 21, and the Ranch and Conard Fires on
Aug. 7. 



U.S. Forest Service agents started investigating Maynard on July 20 after the
Cascade Fire was reported on the western slopes of Mount Shasta. 

An investigator found Maynard underneath his black Kia Soul that had its front
wheels stuck in a ditch and its undercarriage centered on a boulder, court
papers said. 



A second fire erupted the next day on Mount Shasta, and investigators later
found tire tracks similar to those made by the Kia. 

They eventually placed a tracking device under Maynard's car after he was
stopped briefly by police on Aug. 3. Tracking his movements for hundreds of
miles, investigators said Maynard traveled to the area where the Ranch and
Conard Fires erupted in the Lassen National Forest. 



"It appeared that Maynard was in the midst of an arson-setting spree," court
papers said. 




Maynard has denied setting the fires, court papers say. It wasn’t immediately
known whether he has an attorney who can speak on his behalf. 

Maynard appears to have taught briefly at Santa Clara University and Sonoma
State University, where a Gary Maynard was listed as a lecturer in criminal
justice studies specializing in criminal justice, cults and deviant behavior. He
is no longer with either school. 

Maynard is in custody pending trial, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Anderson wrote in an August detention memo that
Maynard had entered the evacuation zone and "began setting fires behind the
first responders fighting the Dixie Fire." 

In addition to the danger of enlarging the Dixie Fire and threatening more lives
and property, "this increased the danger to the first responders," Anderson
said.
