INCIDENTS

91-663 - Organ Pipe Cactus (Arizona) - Drug Interdiction

While working on a special detail with Customs officers on December 14th as 
part of Operation Alliance, ranger Mark Daniel assisted on three separate 
drug seizures on the east side of the Tohono O'Odham reservation and 
adjacent to park boundaries.  Three vehicles were intercepted and seized 
with loads of marijuana totalling 618 pounds, all of it destined for Tucson.  
Seven people were arrested.  Also involved in the operation were Tohono 
O'Odham police officers and Pima County sheriff's office deputies.  This is 
the fifth major drug interdiction operation in which Customs agents have 
requested assistance from Organ Pipe rangers, who are cross-designated as 
Customs officers.  [Robert Stinson, ORPI, via SEAdog message from Steve
