Summary:
A Metropolitan Water District employee discovered what has since been
identified as an abandoned PCP laboratory. Rangers found six empty five
gallon plastic trash cans with PCP residue, miscellaneous glassware, 12 empty
Drano cans, two pairs of rubber gloves and two pairs of white trousers. The
lab appears to have been there for about two months. The road leading to the
site is a dirt road and is open to the public. The US Coast Guard National
Response Center was notified, and the materials have been removed by a toxic
spill contractor. There are no suspects; investigation continues.

Reported by: Ed Lopez, Chief Ranger, ORPI (via WRO)
Received by: Bill Halainen, RAD, WASO

Summary:
While at home, Chief Ranger Ed Lopez heard the sound of noise in the park's
visitor center on his radio. As he entered the building, he encountered a man
who was exiting; a chase ensued, but the burglar was able to get away. Lopez
advised the Pima County Sheriff's Office, and they were able to stop a
suspicious vehicle within the hour. M.M., the driver, consented to a
search of his vehicle, and sheriff's deputies found several hand tools with
paint on them. The paint was later determined to match the paint found on the
building and on the park's safe, which had been damaged but not entered.
M.M. was arrested and met bond. Pima County is pursuing the case.
