NATIONAL PARK SERVICE MORNING REPORT Friday, January 17, 2014 INCIDENTS Crater Lake NP Three Arrested For Travel Trailer Theft Rangers Jason Ramsdell and Jordan Neumann were called out on the evening of January 9th by a plow driver who reported a U-Haul truck and travel trailer stuck in a snow bank near the park's west entrance. While responding, county dispatch notified them that it matched the description of a vehicle stolen out of Medford, so the two rangers conducted a felony traffic stop in the snowy, icy conditions. They arrested two men and a woman, all from Sacramento, and also dealt with two pit bulls inside the travel trailer. They transported the suspects to Medford, where all but one was cited and released due to jail crowding. The trailer with the pit bulls was towed to Medford.
