WOODLAND, Calif. — A Yolo County grand jury this week returned indictments and authorities arrested multiple people tied to a July 1 fireworks warehouse explosion near Esparto that killed seven and injured two. Prosecutors allege illegal storage of more than one million pounds of pyrotechnics and have named several defendants, including a former sheriff’s lieutenant. The arrests came Friday and included a fireworks company CEO taken into custody in Florida and held pending extradition; prosecutors say eight defendants face about 30 charges with five charged with murder. The DA’s office scheduled a news conference this week and court proceedings, extradition actions and prosecutions are expected to follow within days to weeks.
