NORTHWEST REGION
WAKULLA COUNTY
While working the Apalachicola National Forest, Officer Robb was tracking roads and tracked vehicle traffic into a swamp area. While in the area, he located a line tied to a tree and rigged with a large baited hook hanging slightly above the water line. Officer Robb recognized this as consistent with attempting to take alligators. He contacted Officer Marlow and while both officers were observing the site, a vehicle with two individuals came to the location and inspected the baited hook. Over the course of the next night and day, the same individuals came to the site six other times and inspected, re-baited and added a hook, and removed the baited hook from the area. During this timeframe, the individuals were heard mentioning alligators and one of the individuals exited the vehicle with a firearm when the baited hook was tripped. The individuals were stopped and interviewed and admitted to attempting to take alligators and were issued citations for the violations.
