The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Division of Law Enforcement Weekly Report from May 24 through May 30 includes incidents in the Lake Okeechobee area. This report represents some events the FWC handled over specified weeks; however, it does not include all actions taken by the Division of Law Enforcement.
• Officer Watson was conducting resource and license inspections on anglers and found a subject who was cast netting and possessed multiple species of freshwater gamefish including largemouth bass and different species of panfish. It is illegal to harvest freshwater gamefish with a cast net. The subject was issued a notice to appear for the violation.
• Officer Dziewiatkowski observed a vehicle displaying a light into palmettos and grasslands from a roadway in Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park. The officer contacted the vehicle and upon inspection, multiple rifles and handheld lights were found in the occupants’ possession. All subjects were issued the appropriate resource citations.
