<\/p>\nMan arrested at Disney World tied to fireworks explosion that killed 7 in California<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTHE TEEN IS CHARGED WITH SECOND DEGREE MURDER. A MAN HAS BEEN ARRESTED HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA AND CHARGED IN THE DEATHS OF SEVEN PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA. THEY DIED IN AN EXPLOSION NEAR SACRAMENTO. THAT MAN IS KENNETH G. HE FACED A JUDGE AT THE ORANGE COUNTY JAIL TODAY. WESH 2 INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER GREG FOX IS THERE LIVE GREG. INVESTIGATORS SAY THIS MAN IS A BLACK MARKET KINGPIN. THIS IS WHAT THEY PROSECUTORS ARE SAYING NOW. THEY JUST UPDATED US A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO IN A NEWS CONFERENCE FROM CALIFORNIA. THEY SAY THE KENNETH G. WHO IS STILL HERE IN THE JAIL, WAS NOT JUST IMPORTING AND STORING FIREWORKS HE WAS BRINGING INTO THE COUNTRY ILLEGAL FIREWORKS AND SELLING THEM IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. THE EXPLOSION LAST JULY 1ST WAS IMMENSE. LARGE BUILDINGS LEVELED, AND WHEN FIRE AND RESCUE SIFTED THROUGH THE REMAINS OF DEVASTATING PYROTECHNICS IN ESPARTO, CALIFORNIA, SEVEN PEOPLE WERE DEAD. YOU HAVE A FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE. ARREST WARRANT ARRESTED AND CHARGED. HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA IS KENNETH KEY. HE WAS ORDERED HELD WITHOUT BOND ON A STAGGERING NUMBER OF CHARGES. SEVEN COUNTS OF MURDER, CONSPIRACY, ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF EXPLOSIVES AND THE MAKING AND POSSESSION OF DESTRUCTIVE DEVICES WITHOUT A PERMIT. SINCE HE\u2019S NOT LEGALLY ALLOWED TO DEAL IN FIREWORKS. SINCE THE DEADLY EXPLOSION, HE WAS APPARENTLY VACATIONING AT DISNEY WORLD WHEN HE WAS ARRESTED THURSDAY AFTERNOON AT THE HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS. SHE WON\u2019T BE LEAVING THE ORANGE COUNTY JAIL ANY TIME SOON. HE\u2019S EXPECTED TO BE HELD HERE UNTIL HIS EXTRADITION TO CALIFORNIA IN THE NEXT WEEK. TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE EVENT FOR THOSE SEVEN PEOPLE WHO DIED IN THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. YOLO COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY ANNOUNCED. SHE IS ONE OF FIVE PEOPLE CHARGED WITH MURDER, ALONG WITH AT LEAST SEVEN TOTAL ARRESTS. BECAUSE THE SO-CALLED FIREWORKS BUSINESS WAS REALLY A FRONT FOR IMPORTING 11 MILLION POUNDS OF ILLEGAL EXPLOSIVES DURING THE PAST TEN YEARS LEADING UP TO THE DEADLY EXPLOSION AND LIVES LOST, OUR HEART IS WITH THEM. WE\u2019RE DEEPLY DEEP EMPATHY FOR THEIR LOSS. AS DEMONSTRATED TODAY, WE\u2019VE BEEN ON IT FROM DAY ONE. WE\u2019RE COMMITTED TO PURSUING THIS TO THE VERY END. A GRAND JURY REVIEWED EVIDENCE IN THE FIREWORKS EXPLOSION AND RELEASED IN MARCH. A SCATHING REPORT TITLED OFFICIALS KNEW NONE ACTED. IT FOUND THAT IN JUNE 2022, FIRE OFFICIALS FOUND BOTH SAFE AND SANE FIREWORKS AND DANGEROUS FIREWORKS. BUT NO LOCAL PERMIT OR BUSINESS LICENSE WAS EVER OBTAINED. IT\u2019S JUST LIKE THE BUILDING EXPLODED. LIKE YOU COULD SEE, LIKE ALL THE FIRE, JUST LIKE COMING DOWN. LIKE IT WAS JUST LIKE A BUNCH OF FIREWORKS. THE CALIFORNIA EXPLOSION BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF THE DEADLY BLAST AND AN ORLANDO WAREHOUSE. DECEMBER 1ST, 2022. FOUR PEOPLE DIED AND A FIFTH WAS SEVERELY INJURED. LAST YEAR, A SETTLEMENT WAS REACHED WITH MAGIC IN THE SKY, FIREWORKS AND JACOB J. DELL PRODUCTIONS. BUT A LAWSUIT IS STILL PENDING AGAINST THE COMPANY\u2019S MAIN CLIENT, SEAWORLD, WITH TRIAL SCHEDULED FOR MAY OF NEXT YEAR. SO ONCE AGAIN, KENNETH G. IN THAT CALIFORNIA EXPLOSION REMAINING HERE AT THE ORANGE COUNTY JAIL WITHOUT BOND, WE HAVE MUCH MORE ON THIS DEVELOPING STORY COMING UP\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
