FWC Law Enforcement Report

May 30, 2015

The Florida FWC Division of Law Enforcement reported the following activity during the weekly period ending May 28 in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

ESCAMBIA COUNTY

Investigator Goley was working at the Navy Point Boat Ramp when he observed an individual having trouble attempting to dock his vessel.  After the vessel was loaded on the trailer, Investigator Goley approached the subject and performed a safety inspection on the vessel.  While speaking to the subject, Investigator Goley noticed signs of impairment. The subject agreed to submit to several field sobriety tasks and performed poorly on them.  Investigator Goley arrested the subject for BUI and transported him to the Escambia County Jail.  He refused to submit to a breath test.

Officers Livesay and Miller assisted a multi-agency task force in apprehending a sexual predator earlier this week.  The subject was living on a sailboat in Pensacola Bay.  He planned via the internet and thought he was meeting a 14‑year‑old girl at a local marina.  Officers Livesay and Miller along with a task force member shadowed the sailboat until it docked at the marina.  The subject met with an undercover officer and was arrested.  The subject’s computers and sailboat were seized and he was transported to the Escambia County Jail.

SANTA ROSA COUNTY

The patrol vessel FinCat was on patrol in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico during the Memorial Day weekend.  Due to high seas, the crew was limited to one patrol.  During that patrol, four of the nine vessels boarded were in violation.  Violations included possession of red snapper during the closed federal season, undersized cobia, and possession of gag grouper during the closed season. Five federal citations were issued.
