Hawai‘i Island police have arrested 32-year-old Jonathan Carter of Kailua-Kona in connection with a fire that burned 150 acres of vacant land on the southside of Daniel K. Inouye Highway near the 50 mile marker last Thursday.
 
HPD Officers located Carter, who badly was burned, and provided him with medical assistance until Hawaiʻi County Fire Department personnel arrived.  He was then transported to Queen’s North Hawai‘i Hospital with non-life threatening burn injuries.
 
As HFD personnel worked to contain the brush fire, officers began investigating the cause of the blaze. Upon closer examination, police determined that Carter may have been responsible for causing the fire.  He was arrested for arson and released from police custody pending further investigation. 
 
No other injuries were reported and no structures were damaged as a result of the fire.
 
Police ask anyone who may have information regarding the incident to contact Detective Tyler Prokopec at (808) 326-4646 Ext. 2224; or via email at tyler.prokopec@hawaiicounty.gov.
