PIERCE COUNTY, Wash. — The Puyallup man suspected of setting fire to the dry brush along Highway 167 two days ago was in court today.
Police say he called 911, waited for them to arrive and live-streamed the entire incident.
The judge said he would not release him on bail, as he is also suspected of burglary.

It was a subdued Jeffrey Alan Acord who faced a Pierce County judge, claiming that he saw flames along Highway 167 and called 911.
Other drivers, however,, told police they watched the 36-year-old Puyallup man walk into a field carrying a lighter and cardboard.
With that, he ordered Acord to be held on $150,000 bail.
Despite what his lawyer said, court records show Acord has a long criminal history.
He faces seven other cases from this year alone.
