ALPINE — A Brewster County grand jury indicted David Neet on September 17, charging him with arson related to brush fires surrounding Alpine.
The 83rd District Attorney’s Office did not release further details on the indictment by The Big Bend Sentinel deadline, even though the indictment came almost a month earlier.
Neet was arrested on July 5 on 20 counts of second-degree felony arson in connection with a series of brush fires throughout the Alpine area over the course of months and possibly two years, according to the Brewster County Sheriff’s Department.
Neet had been an Alpine volunteer firefighter and crew member of the 1st Response EMS team, which provides nonemergency medical transport.
As of Wednesday morning, Neet was still in the Brewster County Jail on a $300,000 bond.
