FWC Law Enforcement Report

July 2, 2018

The Florida FWC Division of Law Enforcement reported the following activity during the weekly period ending June 14 in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

ESCAMBIA COUNTY

While on routine patrol, Officer Long received information regarding a person trespassing and fishing on private property. The suspect was cited for trespassing and fishing on the same property earlier this year. While Officers Long and McHenry were searching the property, the suspect was spotted and immediately fled northwest through adjacent properties. With assistance from FWC aviation assets and local K9 deputies, the suspect was apprehended and cited for resisting without violence, trespass after warning and interference with an FWC officer.

SANTA ROSA COUNTY

Officer Jones was on water patrol in Santa Rosa Sound near the Navarre Beach Boat Ramp and noticed a personal watercraft operating on a plane in the idle speed zone. He contacted the vessel operator who showed signs of impairment. Officer Jones asked the operator to perform field sobriety tasks during which he showed signs of impairment. The boater was arrested for BUI and transported to the Santa Rosa County Jail.

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.

    Too few – Baiting deer is legal on private land in Florida.

    I’ve called these folks for deer poaching many times but either they don’t respond or never respond. I used to see deer numerous deer on my property but haven’t seen one in the last few years since ECUA took over the hunt club lands between Kathleen Ave and Oak Ridge Trails in Cantonment. There are enough “corn” plots out there to feed a small country. I really wish they would spend some time catching these guys hunting over bait,
