INCIDENTS
94-264 - Lava Beds (California) - Follow-up on ARPA Incident
Rangers Terry Harris and Kirk Gebicke contacted two individuals - subsequently
identified as M.B. and F.C. - digging in an
archeological site on the east side of Petroglyph Point along the park's border
with adjacent BLM lands on May 6th. The two were in possession of human
remains; when asked what they were doing, they both replied that they were
"digging up bones." A consent search of their vehicle was conducted, during
which the rangers found additional human remains and a homemade marijuana pipe
containing residue. On November 21st, M.B. and F.C. both pled guilty to
misdemeanor ARPA charges. M.B. was fined $1,000 and sentenced to two years'
probation, 200 hours of community service and mandatory drug testing for two
years; F.C. was sentenced to 40 days in jail. Local tribes have been
consulted on repatriation of human remains in compliance with NAGPRA. [Kirk
Gebicke, LABE, 11/21]

entered a plea of guilty in federal court to a charge of abusive sexual contact
with a minor child (18 USC 2243(a), 2244(a)(3), and 2244 (a)(7)). On November
