SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, Calif., Nov. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ David Alan Arnold lives a dangerous life as an airborne helicopter cameraman for Deadliest Catch and other television shows. But perhaps the most dangerous thing he has ever doneand some might say the foolhardiestis taking on the organized crime ring at a school bus stop near his rural home in Sky Forest, Calif.

For four years, the organized crime ring has terrorized locals into silence, he says, even as it engaged in drug dealing, kidnapping, human trafficking, and operating an unlicensed and illegal drug rehab center. And, he says, it has done so openly without penalty from police and town officials or coverage by the media.

In his new book, Help from Above: What Lies Above the Clouds, the second title in his three-book series, Arnold tells of his battle to make his town safe again even at the expense of his personal safety.

In an interview, Arnold, can talk about:

How an army of tattooed thugs took over a school bus stop
How an unlicensed drug rehab could exist in his hometownor yourswithout proper, government oversight, and without keeping track of patients.
How he was able to find the dead body of a 21-year-old patient, who had been hidden behind the school bus stop for eight months.
How sheriffs responded to the murder, leaving parts of the body in the woods, behind the school bus stop for another three months.
The night in 2015 when an attempt was made on his life and that of his son's.
His efforts to get police and the media, involved in shutting the crime ring down and to get his fellow residents to talk about the ring on camera.
