ORLANDO, Fla. - Jonathan Rinderknecht, the 29-year-old man charged with starting what became the deadly Palisades Fire in Los Angeles, California, was in federal court in Orlando on Thursday.

United States Magistrate Judge Nathan W. Hill denied Rinderknecht, ordering him to remain in the custody of the U.S. Marshals pending trial, according to FOX 35's Hannah McKenzie, who attended the court hearing. He's charged with destruction of property by means of fire.

Rinderknecht's brother and two sisters attended the court hearing and were seated in the second row, FOX News reported.

If convicted, Rinderknecht would face a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in federal prison and a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison, officials said.
