Dr. Charged with 3 Felonies for faking need for rescue on Denali
Posted: December 3, 2021 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Denali, National Park Service Leave a commentState: Alaska
Dr. on Denali claimed he needed rescued due to lack of equipment after his partner was rescued. When that did not work he claimed he was hypothermic. However, people climbing with him stated he has no injuries or problems descending when he was told rescue was impossible.
When questioned the next day the Dr. was found to be evasive and obstructive and believed to have been deleting messages from his satellite device (?).
Lance is facing a charge of interference with a government employee and violating lawful order for refusing to hand over the device at the ranger’s request and for deleting messages, the charges state. Lance is facing a third charge of false reporting for claiming another climber was experiencing shock and hypothermia in order to prompt rescue.
Why Is This Interesting?
I’ve never heard of anyone being charged like this. I have heard and seen people fake injuries to get rescued before.
