Father and Son Arrested in Forest Hostage Crisis | Ottawa News
Description
A father and son allegedly kidnapped two U.S. Forest Service employees at gunpoint in Northern California, holding them captive for over 12 hours before surrendering after a tense 15-hour standoff that drew in the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team. Armed with an AR-15 and knives, the suspects—Joseph Charles Henrichsen, 49, and his son Phoenix, 23—bound and threatened the victims, even live-streaming a call to warn authorities. Both hostages were released unharmed, but the pair now face life in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted. The Forest Service is providing support to the traumatized victims as the case unfolds.
