Father And Son Held Two Forest Service Workers Hostage For 15 Hours
Joseph Henrichsen zip-tied the pair and held them at gunpoint inside a trailer at Gumboot Lake, claiming he had grenades.
- The report reached USFS near 11 a.m. Thursday in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County.
- Henrichsen, 49, said he wanted to speak with the FBI during the standoff.
- He and son Phoenix surrendered near 2:30 a.m. Friday; charges are planned for kidnapping.
Why it matters: A man who demands the FBI, not park rangers, is naming which agency he believes actually holds power.
