INCIDENTS
94-638 - Glen Canyon (Utah/Arizona) - Drowning
On November 12th, B.L. and B.M. were inspecting the hull of a
houseboat moored at Wahweap Marina. According to B.M., B.L., who was
unfamiliar with the lake, signaled him that he was going to dive to the bottom.
B.M. tried to stop him and swam after B.L. to a depth of approximately 40
feet, where he lost sight of him. The depth under that portion of the Wahweap
Marina is approximately 250 feet. B.M. waited about an hour and a half for
B.L. to reappear; when he failed to do so, B.M. reported him as missing. A
search effort was begun, but has so far been unsuccessful. The investigation
is continuing. [LES, GLCA, 11/14]
94-639 - Obed (Tennessee) - Drug Arrest
Rangers and Morgan County deputies responded to complaints of a disturbance at
Nemo campground at 2 a.m. on November 6th. Deputy Wes Pemberton, who is also a
temporary ranger in the park, brought his drug dog, Pete, with him. Pete
alerted to a package in one of the vehicles at the campground and a search
yielded several ounces of marijuana. Five persons were arrested for various
violations related to possession of the drug. This was the first incident in
which a drug dog was successfully used in the park. [Rob Turan, OBED, 11/10]
