Patrol, Protect, Preserve



NORTHWEST REGION

GADSDEN COUNTY

Officer Johnson responded to an anonymous complaint regarding a subject hunting deer out of season near Gulf Power Road.  The complainant advised that the subject had shot several times earlier that morning with a high-powered rifle.  Officer Johnson followed drag marks to the suspect’s residence and observed several fresh deer legs.  He also followed the blood trail leading to a deer-skinning rack hanging in a tree. A large puddle of blood was underneath the skinning rack.  Officer Johnson asked the subject where the gun and deer meat was.  The subject pointed out the meat in a large white cooler and stated the gun was in the house.  The subject also admitted to taking two small bucks, a six-point and a one-antlered spike, with a Stevens 308.  Upon further investigation, Officer Johnson discovered six potted marijuana plants and three mature plants up to nine feet in height.  Captain Duval, Officer Forehand and one additional FWC officer arrived to assist.  The subject was charged with taking deer during closed season. The subject was informed that the charges for the cultivation of marijuana would be filed through the State Attorney’s Office.  The rifle, two deer, and marijuana were seized as evidence.  The rifle was reported stolen from Wakulla County and Officer Johnson is continuing the investigation.

COPS – COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING

OKALOOSA

Officer Maltais presented the laws portion for the Hunter Education Course held at the Okaloosa Correctional Institution.  There were 42 students in the class.  The volunteer staff was short on help, so Officer Maltais stayed as a course instructor and conducted range supervision.
