Wesley Hunter Thomason, 24, of Garden Grove pleaded guilty Thursday in Orange County Superior Court to one count of possessing child pornography, one count of manufacturing a controlled substance and a count of recklessly causing fire to an inhabited structure, all felonies, according to court records.

Judge John Zitny immediately sentenced Thomason to probation, ordered him to register as a sex offender and narcotics offender and enroll in a drug program. He was sentenced to nearly a year in jail but will not serve additional time because of credit for time already served, according to court records.

Costa Mesa police arrested Thomason on suspicion of starting a fire May 11 in the backyard of a home in the 2200 block of Avalon Street.
