A Colorado judge has dismissed criminal charges against a Danish man accused of starting a wildfire that destroyed about 140 homes after he was repeatedly found unable to stand trial.
A fast-moving wildfire forces nearly 20,000 people to evacuate their homes.DENVER -- A judge on Monday dismissed criminal charges against a Danish man accused of starting a Colorado wildfire that destroyed about 140 homes in 2018 after he was repeatedly found unable to stand trial.
According to court filings, Joergensen has falsely claimed to have had a romantic relationship with the singer Alanis Morissette and that various people associated with her have set him up. The decision frustrated Tim and Marge Thomsen, who lost their mountain home where they lived for 20 years and had planned to spend their retirement, prompting a big renovation project. The fire hit after a mild and dry winter, right after Tim Thomsen had finished the window trim in the house, and the blaze quickly spread over the parched landscape.
