According to the Summit County Sheriff's Office, an investigation into suspected 'illegal camping' resulted in finding someone with a felony arrest warrant.
Last week, deputies conducted a check of a vehicle parked at Sapphire Point, which is in the area of a scenic overlook located along Swan Mountain Road, on suspicion of illegal camping. Currently, the Sapphire Point camping reservation system is unavailable and while previous reservations that were made are being honored, new reservations are closed, likely through some point in spring 2024.
When law enforcement arrived at the scene, they found a woman in the suspect vehicle with a felony arrest warrant out of Texas, along with two dogs.
The woman was taken into custody and the dogs were taken to the Summit County Animal Shelter.

You're just silly. You need to be an illegal "newcomer" to get those things.
