Officer Corbin conducted a fisheries inspection of a five gallon bucket and determined that there was 10 Spanish mackerel inside. Eight of the 10 Spanish mackerel were undersized. The individual was issued a citation for possession of undersized Spanish mackerel. Officer J. Rockwell located a marijuana cultivation site on Blackwater Wildlife Management Area while on ATV patrol. Surveillance was conducted for several days until Officer P. Rockwell observed two subjects enter the cultivation site and water approximately 20 marijuana plants. The subjects placed fishing tackle around their vehicle to distract someone from their illegal actions. Both subjects were placed under arrest once they started departing the area. The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Department Narcotics Unit was called to process the cultivation site and remove the plants from the management area. Both subjects were booked into the Okaloosa County Jail and charged with cultivation of marijuana. WALTON COUNTY Officer Brooks checked two subjects in a canoe fishing on the Choctawhatchee River. A records check revealed one of them had an outstanding warrant for assault from Walton County. The subject was placed under arrest and turned over to the Walton County Sheriff’s Department. Later in the evening, Officer Brooks stopped to check on the welfare of a pedestrian walking along the roadway and learned the subject had an active warrant. The subject was taken into custody and turned over to Holmes County Sheriff’s Department.
