A 57-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of starting the 2018 Delta Fire in Shasta County that burned more than 63,000 acres, destroyed 20 homes and injured two people, authorities said.
Cynthia Ann LeRoux was arrested in her Mountain Gate home Wednesday morning. She was booked into the Shasta County Jail on 18 felony counts related to the Delta Fire and was charged with setting two other fires in 2018 and 2020.
She is being held on $1 million bail and faces more than 50 years in prison, county officials said Wednesday.
A Shingletown man convicted of killing a woman and lighting a forest fire to cover up the murder was sentenced Monday to 32 years to life in prison.
Frank Alexander Berry, 51, was arrested and charged in August of 2018 after officials found the body of Anna Louise Coker, 50, in Lassen National Forest while fighting a 2-acre fire. Investigators said the two had been dating for several weeks before her death.
About 20 people, including Coker’s family, were present for the hearing, enough to cause a change in venue to a larger courtroom due to COVID-19 spacing restrictions.
They wore shirts with her name and shirts with her photo. Through masks, some spoke about her love for family and faith. They recalled past memories, and with tears, mourned the ones they could no longer make. They asked a judge to give Berry the maximum possible sentence, which Berry received.
