Accused of setting the Spring Creek Fire, Jesper Joergensen will remain in custody, at least for now, after a judge refused to dismiss criminal charges against him Friday. Joergensen, a Denmark native who was in the United States on an expired visa at the time of the Spring Creek Fire in 2018, is charged with 349 counts of arson. The massive fire was the third largest in state history at the time — it’s since been surpassed after three of the five largest wildfires in state history occurred in 2020 — and smoky skies enveloped Pueblo for weeks. More than 108,000 acres burned and at least 141 homes were destroyed.
