INCIDENTS

89-165 - Glen Canyon (Utah) - Follow-up on Assault on Ranger

On July 2nd, 19-year-old Larry E.H. of St. George, Utah, was
arrested after assaulting ranger John Crichfield at Lone Rock Beach.
Heywood had attacked Crichfield without warning, told Crichfield that he was
going to kill him, and attempted to remove Crichfield's service revolver
from his holster. Although E.H. grabbed the weapon and partially removed
it from its holster, Crichfield was able to retain control, then pursue,
subdue and arrest him. E.H., who had. been released from a Utah state
prison only a week earlier, was indicted, for assault on a federal officer
with a deadly weapon and incarcerated pending trial. On November 1st,
E.H. was convicted of the lesser felony charge of interfering with a
federal officer. He was sentenced to only five months in prison, with
credit for the five months already served. E.H. will probably spend
another 18 months in state prison for parole violations, however. (Randy
