The suspect accused of starting what prosecutors have described as “one of the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles history<\/a>” reportedly had an outburst in federal court as he pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, of Melbourne, Florida, entered a not guilty plea Thursday to counts of destruction of property by means of fire, arson affecting property used in interstate commerce and timber set afire, according to FOX 11 Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Rinderknecht appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Rozella Oliver wearing a white jumpsuit. His attorney argued that Rinderknecht should be released on bail based on an evaluation by court officials in Florida, where he was arrested on Oct. 7.<\/p>\n

However, Rinderknecht looked agitated when the judge in Los Angeles again ordered that he remain in jail.\u00a0<\/p>\n

PALISADES FIRE SUSPECT HIT WITH NEW CHARGES IN GRAND JURY INDICTMENT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Can I actually say something about detainment?” Rinderknecht interjected into the microphone in court, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

His attorney, Steve Haney, said they planned to return to the judge with additional evidence for why Rinderknecht should be released on bail.<\/p>\n

“He’s a frustrated young man,” Haney said after the hearing. “He doesn’t know why he’s in jail right now.”<\/p>\n

Haney told the judge he took issue with the fact that Rinderknecht was facing charges for the Palisades Fire<\/a> when he allegedly started the smaller fire beforehand known as the Lachman Fire.<\/p>\n

“My client is being charged with a fire that started seven days after,” he said.<\/p>\n

PALISADES FIRE SUSPECT MADE ANTI-TRUMP SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS, BLAMED CLIMATE CHANGE FOR CAUSING WILDFIRES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Rinderknecht was staying at his sister’s house in Orlando when he was arrested by federal officials on Oct. 7. He made his first court appearance the next day in Florida on a charge of malicious destruction by means of a fire.<\/p>\n

A week later, a grand jury indicted him on additional charges including one count of arson affecting property used in interstate commerce, and one count of timber set afire. If convicted, he would face up to 20 years in federal prison.<\/p>\n

Rinderknecht\u2019s trial<\/a> is set for December 16.<\/p>\n

PALISADES FIRE SUSPECT HELD WITHOUT BOND<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Rinderknecht has no documented history of mental health issues, drug use or prior criminal activity, Haney said.<\/p>\n

However, the judge in Florida who initially ordered Rinderknecht to be detained said he had concerns about Rinderknecht\u2019s mental health and his ability to get to California for future court hearings.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the Central District of California previously cited court documents as saying that, “law enforcement determined that the Palisades Fire was a \u2018holdover\u2019 fire \u2014 a continuation of the Lachman Fire that began early in the morning on New Year\u2019s Day 2025.”<\/p>\n

“Law enforcement determined \u2014 using witness statements, video surveillance, cellphone data, and analysis of fire dynamics and patterns at the scene, among other things \u2014 that Rinderknecht maliciously set the Lachman Fire just after midnight on January 1 on land owned by the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA), an organization that received federal funding,” the office added. “A week later, the same fire \u2014 then known as the Palisades Fire \u2014 burned federal property.”<\/p>\n
