Expensive Santa Cruz Mountains search finds stoned teen

5:28 a.m. April 30, 2008

SANTA CRUZ – A mother's frantic 911 plea for help finding her injured
teen son lost in the Santa Cruz Mountains led to an expensive search
that ended with rescuers locating the youth stoned on drugs.

Eighteen-year-old Matthew Rosenberg had used his cellular telephone
Monday night to call his mom and tell her he tripped, broke his leg
and was lost.

But Cal Fire Capt. Bill Finch says the Los Gatos High School senior
didn't break his leg, adding the teen had apparently swallowed
hallucinogenic mushrooms, possibly dropped some acid and just
"thought" his leg was broken.

Finch says the teen "was really gorked" when rescuers found him
standing at the bottom of a ravine. The cost of the search was
estimated at up to $10,000.

The teen's father Mark Rosenberg says the boy will be punished, adding
"he probably won't get to use the car for a while."
