If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison, fines and probation.

Investigators say Williams is responsible for an August 20 fire that burned 315 acres southwest of Emmett. The fire scorched a combination of land overseen by the Bureau of Land Management and private acreage. Williams was indicted by a federal grand jury earlier this month.
