On Sunday evening, U.S. Forest Service personnel reported that a person identified as Carl Sanborn of Thornton had been located on forest land in violation of prior trespass warnings. Authorities noted they have encountered Sanborn several times and advised him he cannot reside on the forest. At approximately 9:09 p.m., Forest Service 30 and Bethlehem 3 were responding to the area to investigate.
Further Forest Service activity involved a check on a female identified as Rachel Wesbarance, who was also advised about residing on National Forest at Site 7 on Haystack Road. The status of the operation remains under investigation, though authorities indicated the incident was closed later that evening.
