This report represents some events the FWC handled over the past week; however,
it does not include all actions taken by the Division of Law Enforcement.
NORTHWEST REGION
OKALOOSA COUNTY
Officer Heath Nichols observed a subject roll a marijuana cigarette in the day use area of Rocky Bayou State Park. The officer approached the subject after he exited his vehicle and started smoking the cigarette. The subject quickly discarded the cigarette in the water when he observed Officer Nichols, even though he was directed not to. The cigarette was retrieved and its contents tested positive for marijuana. The subject was issued a notice to appear for possession of less than 20 grams of cannabis.
Officer James Rockwell was working the east jetties in Destin when he observed a subject catching Spanish mackerel and not measuring them. Officer Rockwell began counting the fish as the subject caught them and placed them in a bucket. He watched the subject catch 23 Spanish mackerel and move them from the bucket to a backpack. When Officer Rockwell made contact with the subject, the man opened the backpack and dumped all the fish into the water. The subject was cited for interference with an FWC officer by failing to permit an inspection.
BAY COUNTY
Officer Steve Wicker responded to a vessel accident on Econfina Creek in which a jon boat ran under a tree limb striking a passenger. The passenger was unconscious and having seizures and was transported to Bay Medical Hospital by ambulance. Officer Wicker found the vessel operator to be impaired and arrested him for boating under the influence (BUI). The operator refused the breath test stating he was “over the limit.”
