INCIDENTS

Eight SAR personnel from the park joined a massive search for a 
three and a half year old boy in the Santa Rosa Mountains 
outside the park's boundaries yesterday.  Over 250 personnel and 
a number of aircraft are involved in the search, which began 
when the boy was reported missing on March 10th.  No positive 
results have been reported to date.  [Paul Henry, CR, JOTR, via

91-70 - Delaware Water Gap (Pennsylvania/New Jersey) - Followup on Arrests

On September 11, 1990, D.B. and E.E. were 
arrested by park rangers while harvesting marijuana planted 
between rows in a corn field in the park.  The arrests followed 
a two-month-long surveillance operation.  On February 21st, D.B. 
pled guilty to possession with intent to manufacture and 
distribute marijuana (21 USC 841(a)(1)).  The maximum penalty 
for the offense is imprisonment for a period of 20 years and/or 
a fine of $1 million.  E.E. pled guilty to the same 
charges two weeks prior to Bolger's appearance.  The U.S. 
attorney expects that each of the men will receive sentences of 
from four to five years in jail.  [Telefax from Hal Grovert, CR,
