Man admits to fire at Trump hotel LAS VEGAS, Nev. — A 28-year-old tourist from Colorado has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge after he became the second person in less than a month to be accused of starting a fire at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. Jacob Matthew Dezsi’s court-appointed lawyer, Alex Hubert, said a felony arson charge was dismissed after Dezsi pleaded guilty Wednesday to malicious destruction of property. Dezsi lives in Littleton, Colorado. Hubert says the judge ordered him released from jail after five days behind bars and sentenced him to perform 50 hours of community service. Las Vegas police say Dezsi told investigators he wasn’t making a political statement when he set fire to a paper towel last Thursday and dropped it in a restroom trash can near the hotel lobby. Officials want fire to burn fuel CLINT WELLS, Ariz. — Coconino National Forest officials say they want a lightning-caused wildfire that’s so far burned only sev- eral hundred acres to grow much larger to remove dead wood and other fuel to reduce the risk of severe wildfire. Officials predict the fire first spotted Friday above the Mogollon Rim about 40 miles (64 kilometers) south- east of Flagstaff will gradu- ally burn across 23 square miles (60 square kilometers) over the next two weeks. Firefighters will conduct burnouts to help direct where and how the fire moves through the landscape as they work to protect things such as structures, campsites and power lines. Coconino National Forest officials are closing portions of numerous forest roads in the area.
