on impeachment charges brought against him by the House of 
Representatives; he was eventually acquitted by a margin of one vote.  
Andrew Johnson National Historic Site contains Johnson's home and 
burial place in Greenville, Tennessee.

INCIDENTS

00-089 - Colorado NM (CO) - Car Clouting Arrests

On March 4th, ranger Bill Row received a report of a vehicle break-in 
within the park.  Although the victims reported the incident within 
minutes and officers from the local area responded promptly to assist, 
the suspects were able to escape.  The victims reported that they'd 
lost credit cards and climbing equipment and expedition gear valued in 
excess of $7,000.  The following morning, the victims told Row that 
their credit card company had informed them that the stolen credit 
cards had been used at a local Grand Junction mall.  With the 
assistance of mall security, Row determined that the suspects had 
employed the cards to charge more than $1,400 worth of electronic 
equipment, CD's, clothing, jewelry, and athletic shoes at eleven 
different mall stores.  Security cameras in three of the stores had 
videotaped three men using the cards.  When Row showed the tapes to 
local law enforcement agencies, officers from Fruita, Colorado, 
recognized one of the suspects.  Row drove by his residence and saw a 
second suspect from the tapes who also matched clerks' descriptions.  
Row contacted the man -  K.F., 20, of Fruita.  Interviews 
and plain-view evidence resulted in K.F.'s arrest, the arrest of a 
juvenile involved, and recovery of much of the stolen property.  The 
third man, J.M., 20, of Fruita, turned himself in.  A search 
warrant was executed on one of the suspect's residences, and much of 
the rest of the stolen property was recovered.   Stolen property from 
a second break-in that occurred the same day on BLM land adjacent to 
the park was also recovered.  The assistant US attorney has filed 
felony charges of theft and unauthorized use of a credit card under 18 
USC. (Ron Young, CR, COLM, 3/10)
