Perhaps he was paying homage to DEF LEPPARD's Pyromania album.
A Logan man thrown out of a Def Leppard concert in August was charged Tuesday with arson for allegedly setting fire to dry grass surrounding West Valley City's USANA Amphitheatre.
The 28-year-old man was charged in 3rd District Court with third-degree felony arson, criminal trespassing, a class B misdemeanor, and intoxication, a class C misdemeanor, in the August 25th blaze.
Witnesses told police they observed the man setting ablaze uncut dry grass on a hillside near USANA, according to court papers.
