SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) — A father and son accused of holding two U.S. Forest Service biologists hostage are expected in federal court in Sacramento on Monday.
Joseph and Phoenix Henrichsen are scheduled for a preliminary hearing.
Last week, a federal grand jury returned a seven-count indictment against the pair.
They are accused of kidnapping two U.S. Forest Service workers and holding them at gunpoint inside a trailer in Siskiyou County.
The workers were eventually released after being held for 15 hours.
The father and son could face life in prison if convicted.
