Utah County sheriff's deputies arrested the man, who also was found to have drugs and paraphernalia, the sheriff's office said on Twitter.
"In this case his actions were more than, 'Oops, I accidentally started a fire.' It was reckless to do what he was doing in the way he was doing it," Sgt. Spencer Cannon told KUTV. "I'm not sure why he felt the need to burn the spider."..
