The Natural Resources Police (NRP) charged three people with numerous offenses that began when one of them became lost in Savage River State Forest on June 5 while harvesting ginseng.
James Lewis Alt, 72, and John Darryl Mayhew, 48, both of Piedmont, W.Va., and Gary Lee Farris, 60, Westernport, were charged with collecting ginseng without a permit, harvesting ginseng out of season, removing, damaging, and destroying plants from a state forest, and using property and resources of state wild lands for commercial gain.

Farris and Mayhew were also charged with making a false statement to a police officer.

In another incident, the NRP charged William Kenneth Curry, 56, Pittsburgh, last Friday with operating a vessel while impaired by alcohol and operating a vessel while under the influence of alcohol.
