A California college professor has been arrested, charged with arson in connection with one of a series of suspected arson fires set near the state’s massive Dixie Fire, authorities said, according to reports.
Gary Maynard, 47, reportedly taught courses at Santa Clara University and Sonoma State University, FOX 40 of Sacramento reported, citing information from Maynard’s bio page on the Sonoma State website.
That page was not working on Tuesday night.
Maynard was facing charges of arson in connection with the Ranch Fire as well as unauthorized entry into a closed area, FOX 40 reported. He was arrested Saturday following an investigation that began in July, according to the station.
DIXIE FIRE BECOMES LARGEST SINGLE WILDFIRE IN CALIFORNIA HISTORY
Court documents indicate that the Ranch Fire and six other fires started between July 6 and Aug. 7 near the Lassen National Forest and Shasta-Trinity National Forest, both in Northern California. The three most recent fires, including the Ranch Fire, started in the area of the Dixie Fire, the report said.

A lot of antifa members are “associate” professors
A professor of criminology..
You can’t make this stuff up.
Antifa anti-capitalist / Marxist was my very first thought.
Give the Prof a break. He was overwhelmed by excess Global Warming.
Was he trying to burn down the ‘Dixie’ sign ??
Figure out which way the fire is burning and stake him out on that path.
This story has to be so wrong. An unhindged academic just has to light fires? So racist. S/
Well at least we know “global warming” is off the hook.
E.L.F
They were far more dangerous than Antifa.
Probably the key person who started many of the fires in CA the last few years.
If anyone died in these fires charge him with murder.
My guess is he was trying to prove Climate Change started these fires................
5 yrs / 250k is waaaasy too lenientl. Joan of Arc him!
If this is the same Gary Maynard, he not merely an academic but the head of corrections for Maryland, Iowa, and South Carolina. Media covering this up? They caught a big fish here. And indicates a lot of these fires are set.

A professor of criminology..
You can’t make this stuff up.
*************
He’s about to attend an experiential symposium on the criminal justice system.
He’s a doer...he doesn’t just sit around smoking weed and talking crazy.
From the Article:
“Maynard was listed by Sonoma State as having been a lecturer in criminal justice studies but was no longer with the university, the Sacramento Bee reported.
“He was a part-time lecturer in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice,” a Sonoma State spokeswoman wrote to the Bee in an email. “He was employed with Sonoma State University in Fall 2020, but did not have an appointment for Spring 2021.”
They will......................
I was thinking that very thought..................
I hope he’s found to be a member of E.L.F.................
