Utah County Sheriff’s Sgt. Spencer Cannon said that although deputies found drugs in his possession, Martin was not suspected of being high, according to The AP.

“What led him to stop and notice a spider and decide to try to burn it, we don’t know,” Cannon said, reported the outlet. “There may not be a why. He might not even know a why.”

Martin was arrested and booked into the Utah County jail on alleged possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and suspicion of reckless burn for the wildfire, reported the AP. Martin has a nearly $2,000 bail, according to the outlet.
