A man pleaded guilty to setting a fire at Comet Ping Pong in January, in another attack on the Northwest pizzeria that appeared to be linked to debunked conspiracy theories.

Under the plea deal, Ryan Jaselskis would go to prison for four years, and he pleaded guilty on Tuesday to two counts: arson and assault on a federal law enforcement officer, as first reported by the Daily Beast. A judge still needs to approve of the plea deal, and sentencing is scheduled for March.

Jaselskis admitted to starting the January 23 fire at Comet Ping Pong during dinner, resulting in the evacuation of the pizzeria and the destruction of curtains. No one was injured during the fire, which an employee extinguished. Investigators found wooden matches and lighter fluid at the scene. They released video of the suspect—a white male in his 20s-to-mid-30s wearing a blue jacket with white sleeves and red trim.

A little more than a week later, a man matching that description, blue jacket included, hopped over the chain link fence blocking off the Washington Monument. Jaselskis, then 22, actively resisted arrest by two Park Police officers and started a fistfight, which concluded when officers tased Jaselskis—all of which was captured on film by a bystander, who posted the video to social media. Jaselskis was charged with unlawful entry and assault on a police officer, and released with a stay away order from the area around the Washington Monument.

On the following evening, February 5, Jaselskis returned to jump the chain link fence surrounding the Washington Monument yet again, wearing that blue jacket, and was arrested on the scene. There were no physical altercations, but he was charged with unlawful entry, destruction of public property, and contempt for violating his stay away order. Charging documents state that his blue jacket was first taken for safekeeping, and then as evidence. It’s the jacket that linked Jaselskis to the arson at Comet Ping Pong.

Jaselskis is an actor from California, who worked under the stage name Ryan Rimas.

While prosecutors haven’t revealed a motive for Jaselskis setting the fire at Comet Ping Pong, NBC News found a video posted to the YouTube account of Jaselski’s parents about an hour before the arson at Comet Ping Pong that stated that “the world is run by a Satanic global pedophile ring fronted by most major celebrities and Hillary Clinton.”

This is all part of the dubious Pizzagate hoax, which caused ongoing death threats, harassment, and more at Comet Ping Pong beginning shortly before the 2016 election. Conspiracy theorists believed the popular restaurant’s basement is a site of an underground satanic sex ring, despite the fact that Comet doesn’t even have a basement. In December 2016, an armed man stormed into the pizzeria, later telling police he wanted to rescue the children he erroneously believed were imprisoned inside. When the man found no evidence of trafficked children inside, he surrendered himself to police.
