A prosecutor says criminal charges will probably be dropped against a mentally ill Danish man accused of starting the 2018 Spring Fire.
The District Attorney didn’t elaborate about his reasoning during a court hearing yesterday for Jesper Joergensen. A judge said that Joergensen could no longer be forcibly medicated. The DA suggested that he would like Joergensen to be deported.
Joergensen was in the U.S. illegally when he was charged with starting the fire that destroyed over 140 homes in southern Colorado.
