Park officials had “a number of people reporting this incident,” Baird said. Members of the public helped point to the woman in the video. Within a couple of days of the video being uploaded, Grand Canyon law enforcement had tracked her down.The perpetrator was not named in the park’s Facebook post, but Baird identified her as Sigmond. She said a citation was filed with the U.S. District Court in Flagstaff, Ariz., where the influencer will have a mandatory court appearance.
