Paso Robles juvenile starts one brush fire, attempts to start another

August 23, 2024

Paso Robles police on patrol spotted a brush fire in the area of N. River and Union roads on Friday morning. As officers drove closer to the fire they spotted a male juvenile running away from the scene.

Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze which was burning  on a hillside that backs up to a residential street.

Shortly after 11 a.m., a caller told the police department a male juvenile was attempting to light a fire next to the burn spot from the earlier fire. Officers arrived on scene and located the juvenile, the same one spotted fleeing the earlier fire.

Officers arrested the juvenile for recklessly setting a fire.

Probably over-mothered, and now looking for attention.


…and they patted him on the head, and gave him a good scolding, and admonished him to stay in school, like all the other good children.


This stupid kid never learned about consequences of action. Better to educate him now, than chase him all over the county courtrooms later.


Maybe arson charges? Hello
