DOUGLAS COUNTY, Wash. - The Douglas County Sheriff's Office announced Thursday that a second suspect has been arrested in connection with the Chelan Hills Fire that torched 15 square miles and led to a fatality.
The sheriff's office announced they received notice from the U.S. Marshals Service that they had found and arrested another suspect, 19-year-old Mark Okhrimchik, and they delivered him to county authorities at the Tacoma Federal Courthouse.
Okhrimchik is charged with first-degree manslaughter, first-degree arson, first-degree malicious mischief and six counts of third-degree assault.

Authorities previously took 18-year-old Michael Yakimov into custody in early September in connection to the Chelan Hills Fire.
Yakimov's family spoke with FOX 13 Seattle after his court appearance on Sept. 3. They say they do not believe he started the fire, and that the other people involved should be held accountable, as well.
Video released this week shows a group of teens sitting in the bed of a truck as it speeds down a road, lighting off illegal fireworks into the air and at passing cars. Investigators believe these teenagers sparked the deadly Chelan Hills Fire, which left one person dead, destroyed more than 100 homes and cost more than $9.1 million in damages.
