INCIDENTS

90-407 - Glen Canyon (Arizona/Utah) - Bomb Threat

Shortly before noon on November 7th, a female operator at the ARA Leisure
Services reservation desk in Phoenix, Arizona, received a sexually harassing
phone call from a man who she believed was at ARA's Wahweap lodge and marina
complex in Glen Canyon. During the call, the man said that he had a "black
box with a button on it" and that he intended to use it. The only
description she was able to give was that the man was middle-aged and had a
southern accent. Park rangers and Coconino County deputies immediately
began a search of the complex. Within an hour, they had contacted a
suspicious man with a southern accent, who was found to be E.L.B.,
32, of Phoenix. When checking on E.L.B., rangers found
that he had a history of larcenies and an outstanding felony warrant against
him for failure to appear in court on charges of passing bad checks. When
questioned, E.L.B. began to give the description and location of his
truck, then stopped after stating only that it was a half-ton Chevy pickup.
He refused to say anything more. The vehicle has not yet been located.
There's no proof that E.L.B. was the caller, however, and no other
calls have since been received. Nor has any explosive device been found.
The investigation continues. (CompuServe message from Larry Clark, CR,
GIGA, 11/8).
