The Salt Lake Tribune has issued the following report:

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.
