Catch an arsonist responsible for contributing to the Los Angeles wildfires and expect a $5,0000 reward. That is the solemn promise of actor and comedian David Spade.
The 60-year-old took to his Instagram Story on Saturday to announce he would offer the cash to anyone who helps law enforcement catch individuals responsible for setting fires.
In a candid video from his car, Spade recounted his experience: “I’m out in California and people are saying there’s guys lighting fires out there, make this s**t worse. They just caught somebody, we’re pretty sure that was lighting fires walking along with a blowtorch, and they let them go.”
He then offered some incentive for his viewers. “So, if you can find someone lighting a fire, and you catch somebody, and you get the cops to bust them and throw them in jail, I’ll give you $5,000 bucks.”
