Camping complaint in Bighorns nets felony

POWELL (WNE) -- What started as a complaint about illegal camping in the Bighorn Mountains last year recently resulted in a felony conviction.
On July 22, the Bighorn National Forest fielded a report about a group camping in a day use area near Sibley Lake, in Sheridan County. When U.S. Forest Service Law Enforcement Officer Jeremy Mack responded, he reportedly found several people “behind a ‘No Camping Here’ sign.” One was 31-year-old Nathan T. Gossens of Billings.
Charging documents say Gossens had a Ruger EC9s 9mm pistol holstered on his hip. That proved to be a problem when Mack learned that the Montanan was a felon, as Gossens was convicted of felony burglary in 2012.
