FWC Law Enforcement Report
July 19, 2016
The Florida FWC Division of Law Enforcement reported the following activity during the weekly period ending July 14 in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
ESCAMBIA COUNTY
Officers Manning and Allgood arrested a subject on a warrant for failure to appear in court on a recent fisheries case. Earlier this summer, Officer Allgood arrested the subject for interfering with an FWC officer. The individual threw red snapper out of the boat when Officer Allgood attempted to check his catch. This was the second time the individual was charged with the same violation this year.
Lieutenant Hahr was working enhanced patrol in the Perdido River Wildlife Management Area (WMA) when he observed a truck drive off of the road and enter a muddy area. The driver intentionally spun the vehicle’s tires and created deep ruts in the mud. The driver was charged with damaging state lands with a motor vehicle.
Officers Manning and Allgood patrolled federal waters this week. Together they documented 21 federal violations. Some of the cases included possession of red snapper and triggerfish during closed season, failure to land king mackerel in whole condition, and possession of undersized and over-the-bag limit of vermillion snapper.
SANTA ROSA COUNTY
Officer Lewis was on patrol in the Blackwater River WMA at a primitive campsite when he observed 11 juveniles on a sandbar. He approached the group and could smell cannabis amongst the group. He observed that one of the subjects in the group appeared to have recently smoked cannabis. The subject admitted to smoking cannabis and removed a glass smoking pipe containing cannabis residue and a clear plastic baggy containing cannabis. Officer Lewis cited the juvenile with possession of cannabis not more than 20 grams and possession of drug paraphernalia.

People hunt for wild dogs around here!?!
I dog hunt and I know how much money the state makes just from us doghunters and gas stations and my tax money goes to people who need to get off their was and quit living off the food stamps and welfare!
where can the offroader set legally cut up? could a place for them make money, like on an admission fee? what do u think? btw, was just joking, did not mean to stir up an imbruglio.
To Eric:
“The State has plenty of money”???? I don’t understand that kind of reasoning. I don’t plant flowers…I enjoy the little bit of the outdoors that are left. The States money comes from those of us who have worked their whole life and paid the State it’s taxes.
Fun? Life ain’t about having fun…it’s about living son. Living is about working and having a sense of doing something good at the end of the day.
The prisons are full of men who just wanted to have fun. I like to have fun Eric….but
Fun at others expense is selfish.
The trails are for everyone to use not just people with big jacked up 4 wheel drives. Thats why we passed a law making it illegal to tear the trails up.
I was young once and did my share of off-road driving in trucks and also motorcycles. Back then we did not intentionally damage the roads or trails like what I see being done at the Perdido management property.
Most of yall don’t even know fun fun to yall is probably planting flowers! State has plenty of money
Too many people in the world! What used to be an occasional 4 wheel drive in a mud hole has turned into 10 4 wheelers at a time. And, there are 100 times more boats and fisherman than ever.
Too many people..too many boats…too many trucks..too many 4 wheelers
Governing this many people takes protection every mud hole.

I guess Mike does not go into the Blackwater Forest to Hunt or to Fish. Those idiots who drive those 4 wheel drive trucks go to the woods just to tear up the roads and proud of making deep ruts which when it rains makes it near impossible to get into areas you like to hunt or fish. I come across people stuck lots of times due to those idiots tearing up the roads making them hard to navigate. Glad that the Officer gave him a ticket and just maybe he will think twice about doing that again and also tell his friends so they quit tearing up the woods too.
Cant even have fun anymore when I was young all we did was ride 4 wheelers and mud ride now we have to many tree huggers around more mud riding and fun we create less shooting and crack dealers! Lol
Some of us enjoy riding through the management land and not having to worry about getting stuck from idiots rutting the place out!
Mike, tell me your address and I will come over and spin my tires in your front yard right after a heavy rain. You can ride in the truck with me and we’ll really do some donuts !!
@fisherman: okay get me his #, i got a 5 or so acre field that needs the brush knocked down, LOL!
Mike
Why not invite the individual to run his vehicle on your property and make ruts in your yard. I’m sure if he had done that on your land you wouldn’t be LOL. I have seen what this does and it’s expensive to repair the damage. So call the man.
He spun his tires in some mud!?! OMG, call the Governor & the Secretary of the Interior! LOL!
