29-year Leonard Gregg worked part time for the Bureau of Indian Affairs

largest forest fire in Arizona history.
Authoritites say Gregg is a firefirefighter for a hire--and he allegedly started the blaze so he could fight it.

(SOT PAUL CHARLOTON/US ATTORNEY 14:24:23)

"THERE IS EVIDENCE WITHIN THAT STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL STARTED THE FIRE SO AS TO EARN MONEY AS A CONTRACT FIREFIGHTER."
The criminal complaint says a pair of Gregg's boots match prints found at the scene of the fire.
The Rodeo fire as it's called, broke out on June 18th just north of the reservation town of Cibecue.
Tearing through dry timber and underbrush it quickly threatened the small town of Show Low and overran two other towns.
It then merged with another fire and by Sunday it had destroyed more than 420 homes and 452-thousand acres.
Now out west--two firefighters are accused of harming the land they are supposed to protect.
Two weeks ago Terry Lynn Barton was charged with setting a huge fire in Colorado.
In court Sunday Gregg--a resident of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation said he was sorry for what he did.

"I find it unacceptable that people are getting together and complaining that deer, and other wildlife, are disrupting their ways of life. The reason that these animals are "disrupting our lives" is because we have run them out of their habitats. We have cut down their forests and used their resources. I think trying to control the deer by birth control and guns is just ridiculous."

But that's when disaster struck for Watson. At the next hole his drive found the rough so he had a tough lie on the approach. He finds the deep rough by the green and that's not good.
Pooley was safely on the dance floor and nails the ten foot birdie for the win in the U.S. Senior Open. At the PGA's Saint Jude Classic in Memphis, Notah Begay was looking for the green right here.
