Deputies said Walker used sunscreen and a lighter to set fire to yard debris underneath a vacant mobile home at 1651 Dimaggio Drive on March 13 and another vacant mobile home at 1690 Presidio Lane three days later.
On Friday, deputies said Walker went inside a mobile home at 1702 Britania St. and set fire to a couch inside.
All three mobile homes were destroyed, authorities said.
