Arsonist Sentenced for Tiger Fire | Sacramento News

A 37-year-old man, Jacob Heitz, is headed to prison after pleading guilty to felony arson for starting the Tiger Fire in Amador County in August 2025 — a blaze that scorched 118 acres, triggered evacuations, and required over 200 firefighters to contain. Sentenced to two years in state prison and required to register as an arsonist, Heitz’s case highlights a major win for inter-agency collaboration between Cal Fire, the Amador County DA’s Office, and the U.S. Forest Service Law Enforcement. The conviction sends a clear message: intentional wildfires won’t be tolerated, and authorities are united in holding offenders accountable to protect communities and wildlands.

Judge Rules Carlos Dominguez Legally Insane | Sacramento News

In a shocking twist, a Yolo County judge has ruled Carlos Dominguez, the former UC Davis student behind the 2023 stabbings that killed two and critically injured another, legally insane at the time of the attacks. After a tumultuous legal battle—including a mistrial and a retrial where he was found not guilty of murder but guilty of involuntary manslaughter—the prosecution and defense agreed to bypass a jury for the sanity determination. The judge’s verdict now sets the stage for Dominguez’s sentencing on August 19th, as DA’s office mourns the victims’ families while reaffirming their commitment to justice and healing.
