Arizona Issues Warrant for Rescued Couple

Friday, March 24, 2006
ASHLAND, Ore. - Arizona authorities have filed felony drug charges against two members of a family that was rescued from a snowbound motor home earlier this week.

Warrants were issued in Snowflake, Ariz., for Elbert and Becky Higginbotham on Wednesday, a day after they and four relatives were rescued in a mountainous region of southern Oregon.

The couple are charged with possession of dangerous drugs for sale and possession of drug paraphernalia, court records show. The records show Elbert Higginbotham is also wanted on a charge of misconduct involving weapons.

Well, who wooda thunk it?!

I reckon I'm a little better able to wrap my mind around this story now. The cities of Ashland or Roseburg are probably off the hook as far as having hatched this behavior. It's gellin' - they're fellins.

I guess they should get an extra big D. (D for dumb)

Now it makes sense!
Probably took them that long to come down. Never even noticed they were lost.

Who knows what might have been in the RV that would make them hesitant about having authorities come their way.

" In an interview with the Ashland Daily Tidings published Friday, Elbert Higginbotham acknowledged he had been arrested on drug charges in Arizona, where the couple live, but he said the drugs were not his.

“I was in the wrong place at the wrong time,” he said."


Seems he makes a habit of that.....

It might explain why they took the road less traveled, the senic route.

Calling them dumb makes the dumb people of the world look bad.

Somedude is wanted in all fifty states, and the District of Columbia for lots and lots of offenses...
