DNR Conservation Officer’s Report:

• CO Trent Seamans (Big Lake) patrolled for anglers and boaters. Additional time was spent handling miscellaneous wildlife-related calls. Enforcement action was taken for fishing without a license, fishing with extra lines, and giving a false date of birth to a peace officer.

• CO Brett Fox (St. Cloud) spent the week patrolling for ATV, angling and watercraft activity. Fox also assisted neighboring officers with investigations. Violations this week include failure to remove drain plug from a boat, no type IV throwable floatation device on boat and watercraft registration issues.

• CO Adam Stennett (Annandale) worked the station for boating and ATV activity. The weather put a damper on the normally very busy holiday weekend. An investigation into an abandoned camper at the Lake John public water access was completed. Stennett located the last owner and found they abandoned the camper at the access because they “just didn’t want it anymore.” Enforcement action was taken for the violation. Stennett also assisted with a training day at Camp Ripley. Other enforcement for the week included boat registration, open burning violations, operating ATV without headlights displayed and ATV registration.
