stuckincincy Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 "ASHLAND, Ore. (AP) -- A new twist regarding that family rescued Tuesday after being trapped for nearly two and a-half weeks in their snowbound RV in Oregon. Two of them, Elbert and Becky Higginbotham of Heber, are named in a drug-related arrest warrants issued in Navajo County. The warrants were issued Wednesday after Arizona authorities saw TV coverage of the rescue of the Higginbothams and Becky's son and his wife and their two children. According to Snowflake Justice Court records, the warrant for Elbert charges of possession of dangerous drugs for sale, misconduct involving weapons and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the court. All are felonies." http://www.kpho.com/Global/story.asp?S=4677906 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconator Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I guess the Higgy's like being not seen? March 27, 2006 Higginbothams missing ... again By Robert Plain Ashland Daily Tidings Elbert Higginbotham and his wife Rebecca Ann Bess were missing for 17 days before they were found. Now they are, again, missing. Jackson County Sheriff’s Department had obtained an arrest warrant for the pair, but when deputies went to pick them up today, they were no longer at either of the Ashland addresses where they had been staying. One of the deputies who went to arrest them confirmed that they had picked up their now-famous RV last night. “Maybe they are heading back to Arizona to take care of this,” he said. Ed Hill, father of the Higginbotham’s daughter-in-law, said the Arizona couple left on Sunday night, after retrieving their motorhome. “They got on the freeway and headed north,” he said. “They might be almost to Canada by now. Oregon doesn’t want them and Arizona doesn’t want them either. We gave them $38 for gas — it’s all we had.” He added that he was not particularly sad to see them go. “I’m glad I only met him once,” Hill said, noting that Higginbotham’s alleged criminal past has cast a dark shadow over the rest of the family’s harrowing and heroic adventure. “I feel a lot better now that the stress is off the kids.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
