INCIDENTS

95-169 - Hawaii Volcanoes (Hawaii) - Car Clouting Convictions

Three of four people arrested for car clouts in the park last year have pled
guilty to theft and conspiracy charges in federal district court in Honolulu. 
The arrests stemmed from 22 larcenies from motor vehicles - all with similar
MO's - that occurred between May and October of 1994.  A joint investigation
was initiated by rangers and Hawaii County officers that led to the
identification of a number of suspects in both the car clouting incidents and
in thefts and use of credit and ATM cards.  A search was conducted at their
residence and items from 20 of the park cases and from 10 to 15 county cases
were recovered.  The four suspects were arrested (a fifth remains at large). 
The first arrested, C.C., 20, was five months pregnant at the time. 
While being flown to federal marshalls in Honolulu in the company of rangers
and FBI agents, C.C. reported that she was experiencing labor pains.  An
ambulance was summoned to the airport, and C.C. was taken to a local
hospital.  She did not deliver, though, and the attending physician said that
she had apparently pretended contractions in an effort to avoid going to jail. 
M.N., 20, who had earlier assaulted an officer and fled, was
located in Kaneohe; although he again fled on foot, he was caught and arrested. 
J.M. and M.K. were apprehended without incident.  J.M.,
M.N. and M.K. all pled guilty and will be sentenced in June and July. 
C.C.'s case is set for trial in July.  [Scott Hinson, HAVO, 4/20]

95-170 - Glen Canyon (Arizona/Utah) - EMS Response; Life Saved

On April 15th, a cabin cruiser tied up at Dangling Rope marina with the engine
running while members of a Utah family used the boat's shower.  Because of the
weather, the canvas top and plastic side curtains over the deck were closed,
except for a small section near the rear deck which allowed exhaust from the
engine to enter the boat.  T.P., nine, was overcome by carbon
monoxide and collapsed.  The ranger on duty first became aware of the emergency
when he saw her being carried down the marina to his office.  He found that
T.P. was suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning; before he could act, she
stopped breathing.  An airway was inserted, oxygen was administered, and her
breathing was restored.  She was flown to a hospital in Page, where she was
treated and subsequently released.  [Tomie Patrick Lee, CR, GLCA, 4/17]

95-171 - Lake Mead (Nevada) - Serious Falling Injury

M.B., 38, fell between 20 and 30 feet down the 4.2 Cliffs off
Northshore Road on the afternoon of April 8th.  He landed on rocks at the base
of the cliff and suffered serious injuries to his face and neck.  A private
vessel took him to Las Vegas Boat Harbor, where he was picked up and taken to
the trauma unit at a local hospital.  [Bud Inman, LAME, 4/17]
