Some "highlights" from the officers log book:
Ranger and I stopped and arrested a 13 YOA male that had taken his father's truck for a joy ride. KHP found marijuana in it and his buddies truck.
Arrested subject in County on no fishing license and two warrants. Checked another subject with no license and he had an NCIC hit from California for Robbery however it was non-extraditable. Dealt with three others from Missouri with no fishing license on the river one subject had 9 open warrants from Missouri only misdemeanor's
Monday off. Tuesday finished 3 lengthy affidavits on convicted felon outfitter and two associate guides. Filed commercialization felonies on all of them and 14 charges on the outfitter, including two trophy violations, baiting on wildlife area, illegal tree stands, theft, interfering with lawful hunts, contributing to a child?s misconduct, take deer without permits, wanton waste and etc. This will be his 5th or 6th conviction for wildlife offenses since 2005 if convicted.
I worked almost exclusively nights. I have a road hunting problem in Co. I keep having fields lit and can?t catch up to the shiners. Saw one head lighting identified, and he is a known trespasser and poacher. I got a call about a guy that shot some turkeys last week. I caught up to him. Seized the bird, and the gun. I have been looking for a suspect related to my ongoing investigation. Had a deer case from last year drop in my lap as well.
Had a BUI selective at reservoir on Saturday. About 20 minutes after dark I noticed a boat running around the lake with no lights. They pulled up to the dock and I made contact and at first he did not want to pull all the way up because he "did not want a BUI". Well after poor SFST and a PBT of 0.191 he received a trip to jail.
Patrolled counties finding few people out. The ones I did find had issues. Citations issued. This week I encountered some of the worst verbal abuse since becoming a Game Warden.
Took an unbelievable tongue lashing from an individual that called Saturday night about someone target practicing on a WIHA even though he never saw them and only heard shots from that direction. I responded even though out of hours for the week and all I could find were 3 dove hunters in the area. I have never in all my life been talked to like that by anyone. I kindly told him to not make threats to me and that really set him off which then prompted him to say ( and by say I mean SCREAMING) he was going to call my boss, his boss, every senator he could think of and then the governor. Guess that is how we are treated when we go above and beyond responding to calls on our days off and when we are out of hours for the week.
Participated with Game Wardens, including KBI and FBI, in a dope field take-down in rural Co, with many thousand plants seized. Educational and enjoyable to say the least.
Checked some fishermen enjoying the cooler weather. Checked a couple individuals fishing without licenses and received a barrage of verbal abuse and varied reasons why they shouldn't be required to have a license to fish as well as why they shouldn't be ticketed for fishing without licenses. Each were issued NTAs.
While patrolling county Saturday evening a call came out in county about two guys in a truck throwing a child in a pond. KHP, SO, PD, and myself responded only to find a lady who had smoked meth that morning and had no idea what she was talking about.
Received a call Sunday morning of a vehicle shooting dove from the road off the power lines. After 4 hours of receiving information and searching for the vehicle, the 2 subjects were located and they confirmed their actions. Both were teenagers and Fathers were very upset with the boys. Both father's advised these boys will be paying their tickets.
Received a report from detective about a turkey vulture that had been shot from a vehicle and the landowner was smart enough to get a tag number from the vehicle. I went and had a little chat with the gentleman, which resulted in us acquiring a custom built AR-15.
Removed a great plains rat snake from the County Courthouse.
Follow-up on paperwork from a case of Five sixteen year old hunters hunting dove out of the back of a Pick-up while driving through the field and trees, near the golf course, prior to Officer(s) arrival, the driver with four hunters in the bed of the pick-up, drove off into a seven foot by four foot deep hole. Luckily Nobody was hurt, all got tickets for pursuing game with a motor vehicle, and two got an extra ticket for no plug in the shotgun.
Those hours were spent delivering seized muzzleloader to captain to take to evidence lock up and locating needy family to donate seized meat to. It was much appreciated.
Landowner babysitting has begun. Guy calls because he shot a deer and it may have went on hated landowners? property and wanted me to be there. Landowner calls and says guy shot a deer and may have went on his property, and he is sure it was illegal. Went and assisted in finding the deer but no deer was located.
