On July 25, 2017, a Freestone County Game Warden received an Operation Game Thief call regarding a deer that was shot at night.
Game Warden Sam Anderson responded to the location and found one dead doe in the bed of a pick-up truck. Additionally, another quartered deer was found in a cooler under the suspect’s porch.
After interviewing the suspect, along with others, and consulting with the District Attorney, three Class A misdemeanor warrants and a 3rd degree felony warrant were obtained and executed.
Pending Charges include Hunt Deer at Night, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by a Felon and Waste of Game.
Civil restitution is also pending.
