FWC Law Enforcement Report

January 25, 2018

The Florida FWC Division of Law Enforcement reported the following activity during the  period ending January 18 in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

ESCAMBIA COUNTY

Officers Clark and Long discovered a large amount of trash dumped along a road way in Escambia County. They dug through the trash and found the name and address of an individual they suspected dumped the trash. They located the subject and interviewed him and he admitted the trash belonged to him and that he dumped it along the roadside. The subject was issued a notice to appear for dumping.

SANTA ROSA COUNTY

Lieutenant Lambert arrived at Boiling Creek Boat Ramp in Eglin WMA a little after sunset. There were two trucks with boat trailers parked at the ramp. A brief time later, he heard several wood ducks fly over and heard multiple gun shots from two locations, one north of the boat ramp and one south of the boat ramp. The shooting continued until approximately 35 minutes after sunset. During waterfowl season, ducks can legally be hunted until sunset. The vessels arrived back at the ramp, one vessel from the north location and one from the south location. Lieutenant Lambert interviewed the subjects, they both possessed duck hunting equipment along with wood ducks. The subjects were cited and warned for several violations to include hunting ducks after hours, unplugged shotgun and various boating safety violations.

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.

    Deer carcasses (count up to 5) have been dumped over a four week period on WEST KINGSFIELD near the ECUA property before Beulah Rd. Hope someone turned those in and they’ve stopped.

    Thank you Officer Clark and Long for catching that dumper!!

    We got dumpers on the south end of Pine Top lane, but they are very crafty and only dump tires side the road and deer pieces/parts side the road and off the bridge into the stream.

    Thanks again!
