LA arson suspect's captor patrols for $1 a year

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? The reserve sheriff's deputy who captured a suspect in dozens of Los Angeles arson fires works for $1 a year and was only on his third solo patrol.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says Shervin Lalezary (LAH-leh-zehr-ee) only qualified last month to work alone. He pulled over a van in Hollywood before dawn on Monday, hours after his official volunteer work shift had ended.

The driver, Harry Burkhart, was arrested for investigation of setting as series of fires that burned cars and damaged residences.

Lalezary, a 30-year-old Beverly Hills real estate attorney, has been a reserve deputy since 2007. He won't say much about his achievement but city officials are calling him a hero.
