Summary:
Containers of unknown substances were discovered when a museum curator began
cataloguing over 100,000 artifacts in the Keys collection on May 29th. Due
to an unusual odor, the Marine Corps Toxic Response Team was called for
assistance. The materials were transported to the Marine depot, identified
and destroyed. The containers contained 1 1/2 gallons of lethal ammonia
(one breath is deadly), 1/2 gallon of nitro-glycerin (equal to 21 sticks of
dynamite), 1/2 gallon of sulfuric acid, and 10 gallons of carbide. These
materials had been in storage in the collection since 1976. The Marine team
will work with the park to determine whether there are any other toxic
materials at the Keys Ranch.

Summary:
On Monday, park rangers and Santa Rosa County Sheriffs arrested W.B.R. and
L.G.R. just outside the park boundary on nine outstanding warrants.
They had been camping with L.G.R.'s mother for most of the previous week at
Fort Pickens campground, and were in the process of leaving in three
vehicles when they were stopped. A search of the mother's vehicle led to
the discovery of a suitcase containing 125.5 grams of cocaine, a small
amount of marijuana, scales and other drug paraphenalia. W.B.R. had $3,100
in cash in his possession, and there were also pictures of L.G.R. standing in
a marijuana field of unknown location. The Restuchers were arrested, and
the mother was released. L.G.R. is being held without bond; W.B.R. is being
held on a $100,000 bond. State prosecutors are trying to get federal
charges placed against these persons, as there is evidence of dealing drugs
on park property.
