A Wyoming man has been charged with intentionally starting two wildfires in Big Horn County almost three years ago.
Brandon Kenneth Nyberg is charged with unlawfully starting a fire and burning timber, trees and other fuels on U.S. Bureau of Land Management land. If convicted, he could spend up to one year in jail, serve one year of supervised release and pay a fine of up to $1,000.
According to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Casper, in July 2018, BLM Supervisory Ranger Brad Jones was working near the Terek Fire in Big Horn County when he was alerted to another fire in Manderson. While attempting to gain access to the Manderson fire, another fire on the same highway was reported.
A few years ago, New York State gave incarcerated person Robert Lind an official commendation. At the age of 71, he managed to restrain a man trying to attack a female counselor. You’ve probably never heard of him, but he could have been a tabloid hero. In fact, this act of courage was just another of his many accomplishments. Robert created life-saving programs to stop community violence and help incarcerated people re-enter society that are now used by prison administrators across the state. He also mentored countless people who have gone on to do great things, too.
But Robert, who is my husband, is a quiet man and doesn’t want the recognition. Instead, he simply wants the most basic of accommodations: to be released from prison to live out his final years in the comfort of our home.
