TWO DEAD IN TENN. HELICOPTER CRASH

BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Searchers found the wreckage of a National Guard
helicopter on a northeastern Tennessee mountain Saturday, three days after
it crashed while its two-man crew searched for marijuana plants.

Both crew members were killed, Tennessee National Guard Col. Larry Shelton said.

The pilot was Capt. Charles Harvey, 37, of Nashville, and the passenger was
Stephen Allen Bowman, 44, a Forest Service law enforcement officer from
Greeneville.

The helicopter was last heard from Wednesday afternoon, when Harvey told
controllers he was flying into turbulent weather. About 135 people searched
for the helicopter.

The crash site, near the Virginia line, is about 100 miles northeast of
Knoxville.
