All Bad: Teen Who Started Oregon Wildfire Ordered To Pay $37 Million But Judge Says Payments Can End After 10 Years!
- 6 years ago
A teenager who started a major wildfire in the scenic Columbia River Gorge in Oregon has been ordered to pay restitution for at least the next decade, though it’s unlikely the teen will ever cover his nearly $37 million bill. The judge’s order notes that the boy can set up a payment plan, though payments can be halted after 10 years as long as he complies, completes probation and doesn’t commit other crimes.
