Two arrested after dangerous booby traps found on popular Utah hiking trail

Two young men in Utah have been arrested for setting potentially deadly booby traps along a popular hiking trail south of Salt Lake City. One of the traps was a 20-pound boulder rigged with wooden spikes that, when triggered by a trip wire, would swing across the trail at head height, the Washington Times reports. The other was a spike-filled pitfall trap, according to the BBC.
