An Arizona man is facing several charges after he apparently sifted through the rubble of homes that had burned to the ground during a wildfire last month in Bagdad, Arizona, and took various items that he found, according to the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office.
The Spur Fire sparked May 27, near Bagdad, Arizona, a small mining town about 90 minutes west of Prescott, and quickly spread forcing the town's residents to evacuate. More than 20 buildings, including homes, burned in the fire, according to officials. In a news release, the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office said on June 8 someone reported seeing an unknown man going through the debris of someone's house and remove a pellet rifle, and then leave with it in a van.
