Multiple Arrests On Drug And Alcohol Charges

Rangers James Littlejohn and Ben Henthorne were patrolling the Blue Creek ORV area just after midnight on June 27th when they came upon a group of ten to fifteen people with a large amount of litter at their site. As the rangers were talking to them, several fled on foot. Henthorne detained the members of the main group while Littlejohn pursued the others. Littlejohn caught two of them and found that one had powder cocaine in his possession. He then had to use his taser on one person who resisted arrest. A total of three people were arrested for a variety of offenses, including possession of cocaine, resisting arrest, evading arrest, furnishing alcohol to minors, minor consumption of alcohol, and public intoxication. Rangers Sarah Bouska and Jake Olson assisted with the arrest and processing of the scene.
