On May 2, 2014, several witnesses and an NPS employee saw a person BASE jump from the top of the Three Gossips formation in Arches National Park. Park rangers responded and tracked footprints in the area until they found the BASE jumper, Andy Lewis, hiding among rocks. Lewis was arrested and charged with five violations.
On December 18, 2014, Lewis pled guilty to providing false information, illegal air delivery, and interfering with agency functions. He was fined $965 and was placed on non-supervisory probation for 18 months. Conditions of Lewis’ probation include no criminal activity, no entrance into any national park or monument, and no contact with National Park Service employees.
Lewis’s enhanced probation is the result of repeated illegal air delivery charges in more than one NPS unit. Lewis is not allowed entry into any NPS unit until November 2, 2015.
