NORTHWEST REGION
BAY COUNTY
Officer Basford was on water patrol when he checked four people who were engaged in fishing. After checking their coolers, they were found to possess 19 red snapper out of season. Officer Brady arrived to assist and citations were issued for the season and bag limit violations. Later in his patrol, Officer Basford found a vessel with 16 grey snapper, of which 15 were undersized, and one undersized speckled trout on board. The person had no fishing license. Citations were issued for the snapper bag limit and size violations as well as the license violation. A written warning was issued for the undersized trout.
Officer Brady worked a detail targeting personal watercraft vendors on Panama City Beach. During the detail, he talked with two females concerning personal watercrafts they were riding. It was determined they didn’t possess boater’s ID cards and the vendor did not require them to take a boater’s test before renting the watercraft. The vendor was located and an inspection was conducted and citations were issued.
ESCAMBIA COUNTY
Lieutenant Hahr was patrolling in the Perdido River Wildlife Management Area (WMA) at Fillingim Landing. He observed a man and woman who appeared to be arguing. When he approached them, he observed two open beers next to them on a picnic table. As he spoke to them about the alcohol violation, the woman kept trying to get his attention and was getting upset. After separating them, the woman told Lieutenant Hahr that she had swore out a warrant against the man and that she had been trying to get the attention of law enforcement so that he would be arrested. She stated that he had beaten her and that she was afraid for her life. Lieutenant Hahr confirmed the existence of a local warrant for battery (subsequent offense) and arrested the man. The woman was provided with information for obtaining a domestic violence injunction and the man was booked into jail.
SANTA ROSA COUNTY
Officers Lewis and Clark were working in the Blackwater State Forest when Officer Lewis observed a woman approaching him that he had recently warned for possession of cannabis. When she saw him, she attempted to conceal a small handbag in her purse. Officer Lewis recognized her and the handbag. When she reached him, he asked her and her friend what they were doing and if she had anything illegal in her bag. She responded that she did have some "stuff" in her bag. She then admitted that she had some marijuana in the bag. Officer Lewis found a bag of cannabis and a drug pipe in the bag. He issued the woman a notice to appear for possession of not more than 20 grams of cannabis and possession of drug paraphernalia.
