He deserves to have to pay for the damage and be banned from the establishment. Why does he need to go to jail he obviously didn't do anyone any harm beyond a sign being destroyed.

The man was charged with reckless burning

But it's still the owner's property. He can't just let people go in and wreak the place, he has to pay for damages.

Right, he should pay for the damages that he caused.

Wreckless burning and disorderly conduct are criminal charges, so he'll at least sit in the clink until he makes bail. Whether he sees jailtime after that is up to the judge. He's lucky they didn't charge him with attempted arson, frankly.

Pay for the damage, he burned a paper sign, what's that cost? A penny?

As for being arrested, well the article did say the state passed an anti-smoking law, so he was breaking the law. Should have to pay a fine above the penny for the paper sign.

He could have burned the place down and killed or maimed people.
