PORTLAND, Ore. — A man arrested Sunday afternoon for allegedly starting a small brush fire along Interstate 205 was arrested again hours after he was released from jail after he allegedly started six more small fires, Portland police said.

Domingo Lopez Jr., 45, was cited with seven counts of reckless burning and police said other charges may follow. After he was arrested the second time, at 3:37 a.m. Monday, he was taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation.

After officers and firefighters put out a small brush fire along I-205 around 4:30 p.m. Sunday, a witness flagged down officers about an hour later and said the man who started the fires was in a nearby tent. Police spoke to Lopez Jr., who told officer he lit the fire, police said. He was arrested and a plastic bottle with a wick was seized as evidence.

MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. — Multnomah County Sheriff's Office says several groups of citizens have created illegal checkpoints in Corbett amid a historic wildfire event.

A fire was intentionally set Friday in Corbett by someone using an illegal firework.

Shortly after, some citizens living in rural areas of Multnomah County set up "checkpoints" and were "stopping cars." Deputies got reports the individuals who set up these roadblocks were armed and were checking the identification of passing drivers.

The sheriff's office says they have deputies patrolling the area and through the end of the weekend. Anyone who sets up these illegal roadblocks is subject to citation or arrest.

In a video statement, Multnomah County Sheriff Mike Reese said the Eagle Creek wildfire of 2017 "is still fresh on all of our minds ... the sheriff's office will not tolerate any illegal activity."

There are no evacuation orders in Multnomah County.

ALBANY, Ore. — An Oregon sheriff says authorities are searching for a person suspected of setting eight suspicious fires around the communities of Sweet Home and Brownsville early Monday morning.

The area is about 60 miles (96 kilometers) southwest of a large fire that wiped out numerous communities in Oregon’s Santiam Valley and forced thousands to evacuate.

Linn County Sheriff Jim Yon says deputies are searching for a 1990s Nissan pickup truck that’s either white or silver with a black canopy. The truck was seen in the area of one of the fires.

Even more people starting fires.

Patriots fight back - people living in rural areas set up armed checkpoints where they stopped cars and checked IDs, likely to deter antifa bitches from setting their neighborhood on fire. I hope these cops look the other way and allow it to continue, despite their public statement that they wont allow checkpoints.
