• Officer Curbelo was patrolling at night and observed a vehicle driving slowly on a rural roadway. The driver and passenger were shining lights from the vehicle into the pastures and wooded areas off the road, in a manner capable of disclosing the presence of deer. Officer Curbelo conducted a vehicle stop and found a shotgun within arm’s reach of the passenger and driver. Both occupants were questioned and admitted to shining the lights to find animals to shoot. Both subjects were charged with displaying a light in a manner capable of disclosing the presence of deer while in possession of a weapon commonly used to take deer.
