    Post Independent: Incident at Lake Powell lands ex-teacher in hot water: Redfern's citation by park service officer for prohibited use of a firearm also leads to arrest in Eagle County (June 17 2012)

    A former Basalt teacher turned herself in to the Eagle County Sheriff's Office on Friday morning and was arrested for suspicion of violation of bond conditions, authorities said. Lauren K. Redfern, 26, of El Jebel, posted $10,000 bond and was released at about noon Friday from Eagle County Jail. Eagle County Sheriff's Office sought the arrest warrant Wednesday after Redfern received a ticket earlier in the week from the National Park Service at Lake Powell, according to court documents ... Brownson made contact with the suspected group and identified one member of the party as Redfern, according to the affidavit. “Brownson stated that Redfern admitted to handling and shooting a shotgun, ingesting illegal mushrooms and consuming alcohol while at Lake Powell during [June 10],” Hollenbaugh wrote. “He said that Redfern admitted that during the course of his contact with her, she was under the influence of alcohol.” The park service officers said they received consent to search the campsite where Redfern and her group were allegedly staying and found 28 grams of hallucinogenic mushrooms, a 12-gauge shotgun, ammunition “and numerous cans of beer and alcoholic beverage bottles.”

    Google News (June 23 2012):

    One of the rowdy campers busted in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area with Lauren Redfern was a female sheriff's deputy from Pitkin County. A sheriff's deputy doing drugs & shooting guns in a national park? Who'd a thunk!

    Pitkin County Sheriff Joe DiSalvo said Friday that he doesn’t know yet how he will handle the second difficult situation involving a female deputy that he has faced this year. Amanda Schmitt, 25, who works in the Pitkin County Jail, is on paid administrative leave after she admitted to DiSalvo last week that she was cited in Utah for illegally shooting a shotgun while camping. “She’s on leave until I lift it,” DiSalvo said ... Redfern and Schmitt allegedly admitted to park service authorities that they had drank alcohol, ingested psilocybin mushrooms and fired a shotgun that belonged to a friend. DiSalvo said the friend brought the weapon without the knowledge of Schmitt, who has worked in the jail for about nine months. But she denied eating the mushrooms to DiSalvo, telling him that she told a different story to the federal officer because she was scared, DiSalvo said.
