Military officials are asking residents to not pick up debris from the chopper that crash landed last night in the Frances area. They say their request is for safety concerns. Debris is scattered for about two miles southeast from the crash site.
"Please ask them leave it where they find it, don't consolidate, etc.," said Kimberly Tiscione, public affairs officer with the 160 Special Operations Aviation Regiment at Fort Campbell.
Citizens can report the location of debris to Marion Central Dispatching at 965-3500.
"We appreciate their concern and assistance," said Tiscione.
