INCIDENTS

91-47 - Glen Canyon (Arizona/Utah) - Assault on Ranger

Shortly before midnight on February 10th, rangers Keith Lober 
and Ariel Leonard responded to a medical at the residence of 
C. and K.W. in the trailer village at Wahweap.  
Lober is a paramedic; Leonard is an IEMT.  K.W., 37, had 
complained of chest pains, but became agitated when the rangers 
arrived.  A family bout ensued, and she refused examination or 
transportation to a hospital.  When she was prevented from 
leaving the trailer, K.W. went to a couch, pulled out an 
eight-inch butcher knife which she had hidden there, and made a 
deliberate stab at Lober, inflicting a superficial laceration on 
the middle finger of his left hand.  Lober stepped back, drew 
his service revolver, and ordered her to drop the knife.  While 
K.W.'s attention was focused on Lober, C.W. was able 
to rush her from the side and disarm her.  During handcuffing, 
Leonard sustained a minor laceration to her hand which was 
probably caused by K.W.'s fingernails.  K.W. was taken to the 
Page Hospital, where she refused treatment, and was then 
transported 120 miles to the Coconino County jail in Flagstaff.  
The incident is under joint investigation by the county 
sheriff's department and the park.  K.W. has been formally 
charged with two counts of aggravated assault, a class III 
felony carrying a minimum sentence of five years and a fine of 
up to $150,000.  C.W. is a concession employee.  
Alcohol was involved.  Lober was wearing a protective vest.
