Patrol, Protect, Preserve
NORTHWEST REGION
BAY COUNTY
Officers Goodwin, Brady, Letcher and FHP Trooper Russell were working a night detail during spring break at St. Andrews State Park when they observed a golf cart drive up to the after-hours entry gate from outside the park. They could hear the occupants of the golf cart talking to each other about pushing the gate arm up so the golf cart could be driven under the gate arm. The driver then drove the golf cart off the road and around the gate entering the park. The officers approached the subjects, identified themselves, and told the subjects to stop. The driver drove past the officers and into the park. The officers followed the golf cart in their patrol vehicles. The driver attempted to hide the golf cart by driving it into the woods and turning off the lights. The officers located the golf cart and all the occupants fled into the woods except for the driver. All the occupants were apprehended within a short time. The driver was charged with driving under the influence. The subjects that fled the scene were charged with resisting arrest without violence. All were charged with entering into the park without a park pass and transported to the Bay County Jail.
ESCAMBIA COUNTY
Officers Livesay and Pettey worked an area that appeared to have been previously baited for illegal turkey hunting. After waiting in the area most of the morning, the officers decided to change locations to a nearby field. While walking to this area, they noticed a hunter sneaking through the woods. The hunter set up and called for turkeys. Officers Livesay and Pettey approached the hunter and discovered he was hunting on a second baited spot. The subject admitted putting out bait in both spots and was charged with turkey hunting over bait.
LIBERTY AND CALHOUN COUNTIES
FWC officers continue to search for a missing man on the Apalachicola River. The man has been missing since March 9. The location of the search has been expanded south towards the Iola Landing area.
LEON COUNTY
Officer Louque observed a subject calling turkeys from a ground blind. There was cracked corn deposited beside the blind. The subject had also placed a hen turkey decoy in the cracked corn. Officer Louque cited the subject for attempting to take turkeys over bait. Investigator Bryant arrived later to assist and wrote the subject’s friend, who was in a different blind, a warning for no turkey permit.
