Two people were arrested and two others are considered fugitives.

National Parks have become a favorite growing area for POT in the last few years. Because it's not on personal property, there's no risk to the growers personal assets. Also, because the growing of the pot is taking place in a Nat'l park, it's harder to prove that the person cultivating it is more than just a visitor to the park.
