November 3, 2015

The Florida FWC Division of Law Enforcement reported the following activity during the weekly period ending October 29 in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

SANTA ROSA  COUNTY

Officer Lewis was on forest patrol in Blackwater River State Forest in a primitive campsite when he observed a group in possession of alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited in this area. A computer check on one of the subjects came back with a warrant out of Okaloosa County for larceny and criminal mischief. The subject was arrested and transported to the Santa Rosa County Jail and issued a warning for the alcohol violation.

Officer Ramos was patrolling Blackwater River State Forest and encountered a vehicle whose operator had been firing multiple rifle rounds. During a conversation with the operator, Officer Ramos discovered an empty bag of corn in the vehicle. A short while later, he found an area at the end of the road where fresh corn had been placed on the ground in the management area. Officers Ramos and Hutchinson visited the operator of the vehicle from earlier and the man admitted to placing bait in the management area. He was issued a citation.
