FWC Law Enforcement Report

December 13, 2014

The Florida FWC Division of Law Enforcement reported the following activity during the weekly period ending  December 11 in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

ESCAMBIA COUNTY

Officers Livesay, Cushing and Investigator Goley worked a night-hunting detail in conjunction with conservation officers with the Alabama Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The officers were positioned on both sides of the state line in an area where reports of poaching were occurring.  During the detail, two juveniles were arrested by Alabama DNR officers for attempting to take deer with a gun and light.

SANTA ROSA COUNTY

Officer Hutchinson was on patrol when he observed persons trying to put out a fire that had gotten out of control.  He began assisting them as Officer Johnson responded to assist.  The fire threatened to burn a large pile of hay bales the farmer had stacked up.  Officer Hutchinson successfully used his winch bumper to push several bales out of the way preventing the fire from reaching the stack.  The fire was eventually extinguished and the farmer was reportedly very appreciative of the officers’ assistance.

This report represents some events the FWC handled over the past week;however, it does not include all actions taken by the Division of Law Enforcement. Information provided by FWC.

    My Hat is off to these officers I’ll never stop appreciating their efforts. Listen up,
    there are bad eggs that think they are above the law. These guys work hard and in good and bad weather to stop poaching of fish and wildlife. If you think you’re
    better than the law, these guys are here to let you know otherwise. Thanks, FWC

    I agree with Rachel, I have heard a number of negative comments about FWC officers, but this one came upon an emergency and through quick thinking and action mitigated the situation.

    This is a great example to show people that police officers are out there to help people. Teach your young children and everybody to obey officers when they tell you something. They are well trained and are not going to ask you something that you are not capable of doing. Thank you for doing your job and to the best of your ability. You are appreciated.
