Four years later and the man accused in the largest wildfire outbreak in Oklahoma has been arrested Thursday.

On Thursday Billy Cloud was taken into custody for his connection to the massive Creek County fire outbreak in 2012. Hundreds of buildings and several homes were destroyed by the large flames.

Cloud's arrest was the result of a warrant sweep in Creek County conducted by members of the Northern Oklahoma Violent Crimes Task Force and Deputies from the Creek County Sheriff’s Office.
