Deer Hunting Enforcement
During October 2016, Officer Pettus had received several complaints of fields being shined in the town of Willington apparently looking for deer. The vehicle description was said to be a small white dump truck; in one instance, the anonymous complainant saw and provided evidence that a deer had been shot and dragged out to the road from his property. On November 2nd 2016, Officer Pettus and Officer Ruggiero were called to a jacklighting complaint in the same area of Willington. Upon arrival, they observed a small white dump truck stopping at fields shining a light from the driver’s window. After effecting a motor vehicle stop, the 29 year old male was found with a handheld spotlight and a crossbow and bolts in the cab beside him; another bow and arrows were found in the vehicle’s bed, both with night sights attached. The suspect later admitted he was an avid hunter, ‘loved deer,’ and ‘loved shining fields, and I can’t help it.’ The suspect was arrested for Jacklighting deer, and both bows, arrows, and all related equipment were seized as evidence. The case continues in Rockville superior court.
On November 5th, Officers Landry, Pettus and Scatena-Kurtzenacker responded to the town of Mansfield where State Police had been called for a dispute between hunters. Upon arrival officers found a 53 year old male who had shot a 5 point buck with a .223 rifle. Upon further investigation it was determined that the suspect was hunting on property without permission, had not completed a harvest tag, and was hunting deer with a rifle during the closed season. He was arrested for the violations and charged accordingly.

Also on November 5th, Officer Ruggiero found two vehicles parked alongside Eversource property in Middletown. This area is known for hunting activity. Upon investigation, a 47 year old male was found archery hunting in a tree stand with peanut butter and deer food nearby; the suspect had the peanut butter with him and admitted to putting the food out that morning. He was arrested and charged for hunting a baited area, while a second hunter was charged for hunting the Eversource property without permission.

On November 12, 2016, Officer Pettus was dispatched on a deer hunting trespass complaint in Somers. The complainant stated he had heard a gunshot, found a gut pile on his property, and located drag marks leading to his neighbor’s property. Officer Pettus interviewed the 45 year old male neighbor, who stated he had taken an 8 point buck deer that morning with his rifle. The suspect had not completed a harvest tag, did not have a current landowner deer permit, and it was proven he had taken the deer on adjacent property without permission. He was arrested on site and the deer was seized as evidence. He is scheduled to appear in Rockville superior court.

Officer Wojcik received a complaint of hunting over bait adjacent to Cockaponset State Forest in Haddam. On November 6th, while investigating, he found a pile of corn and a trail camera about fifteen yards away from a tree stand located on private property. On November 12th, Officer Wojcik returned and found a 65 year old male in the tree stand actively hunting with a shotgun; the suspect had the proper permits/permission and admitted that the corn was there ‘only to attract deer to get a photo’ on the camera. He was arrested for hunting over bait and released on a Misdemeanor Summons to appear in court.

On November 15th, Officer Danielson received a complaint of tree stands located within the Tolland Agriculture Center Property in Vernon where no permission to hunt is given. The next morning (opening day of firearms deer season) Officer Danielson found two vehicles parked nearby the property. Upon investigation he located two males (ages 24 and 36) hunting with loaded firearms (shotgun and rifle), no written consent, and not wearing any fluorescent safety orange clothing. One subject had permission for an adjacent property, but was found well away from the boundary. Both males were arrested for the trespass and hunting safety violations.
On Thanksgiving Day, November 24th, Officers J. Williams, Ruggiero and Sgt. Kane responded to East Haddam for a State Police report of a hunter passed out on a trail with a loaded shotgun near Devils Hopyard State Park. The 49 year old male subject had not responded to initial questioning and appeared to be intoxicated. He was transported to Middlesex Hospital, Middletown, prior to police arrival. Upon securing the loaded shotgun and ammunition, the subject’s vehicle was found unlocked with a .308 caliber rifle, open to public view, with live ammunition on the rear floor. The subject had permission to hunt the town property, but lacked a firearms hunting license. He was arrested for Negligent Hunting, 4th degree, and Reckless Endangerment for the weapon and ammunition in the unsecured vehicle.

Boating Enforcement / Boating Accident Response
On November 5, 2016, Officer Ruggiero received multiple complaints of two yellow colored sportfish vessels, about fifty (50) feet long, creating large wakes in a “No Wake Area” of the Connecticut River adjacent to marinas in Portland with possible resulting damage to local property. The vessels and owners were identified by photos and a statement which resulted in the two owner/operators receiving citations for the violations.

On the evening of Sunday, November 13th, Officers Buonocore and Vroman were dispatched to Coventry Lake for a report of fourteen foot kayak that had capsized, leaving the 59 year old male and 50 year old female in the water for 30 minutes. Both were wearing their lifejackets and remained in the water until the arrival of first responders. Upon investigation it was determined that they had taken out the vessel to have pizza and watch the ‘supermoon’ when the male reached out to retrieve a paddle, causing the kayak to take on water then capsize. Both parties were hospitalized for hypothermia and released the next day. EnCon Police continue to investigate.



Park / Forest / Fishing Enforcement
East District Officers continued patrolling state parks, forests and management areas throughout November 2016, resulting in various citations. Officers Buonocore and Vroman followed up on an illegal dumping complaint (couch, mattress and trash bags) on state property in Canterbury on November 18th, and issued a $400 citation to the violator. A report was received on November 12th from a waterfowl hunter of a vehicle underwater near the boat launch of Ross Pond Marsh, Killingly; it was determined the vehicle had been apparently abandoned and underwater for a long period of time. On November 3, 2016, Officer Wojcik responded to a complaint of undersized striped bass being kept on the Thames River in Ledyard. A 47 year old male was cited for being in possession of six (6) striped bass, all less than 15 inches in length, as well as over the daily creel (one) and fishing without a license.

ATV Enforcement
East District Officers issued numerous citations to All-Terrain Vehicle riders/ operators throughout the month, particularly while assisting the municipalities of East Windsor and Willimantic who had requested EnCon Police assistance with local ATV issues. At least twelve citations were issued for illegal operation, and over 15 citations for trespassing. ATV complaints on the Airline State Park Trail in Hampton/Chaplin resulted in the seizure of an abandoned dirt bike.

Media Event / Spignesi Remembrance
On November 16th, the opening day of the Firearms Deer season, Sgt. Kane was at the Salmon River State Forest in East Hampton and gave out hunting safety information to various media outlets and reporters.

Sunday, November 20, 2016, the loss of Officer James Spignesi in the line of duty on 11/20/1998 was marked by the EnCon Police Division’s annual graveside memorial gathering of family, friends, officers, retirees, and other DEEP employees and managers. The Division’s Honor Guard was present to assist with the presentation of a wreath in Jim’s honor, and comments were made by Tom Spignesi, Colonel Overturf and Bureau Chief Lambert.

Commercial Fishing Enforcement
On 11/8/2016 Officer Tefft received a complaint from the DEEP Marine Fisheries Division with information regarding a commercial lobsterman fishing during the closed season. Lobster season is closed in CT from Sept. 8, 2016 until Nov. 28, 2016. Officer Tefft was shown a log book from Marine Fisheries of which the lobsterman recorded that he fished 550 pots and kept lobsters that were caught. Officer Tefft realized the log books from said lobsterman were inconsistent. Officer Tefft met with the lobsterman who holds an active principal commercial license of which there is currently a moratorium on, which means there are no new licenses allowed to be issued. Current license holders who do not utilize their license are at risk of losing their pot allocation or the license all together if further legislation is passed. During the interview, the lobsterman stated to Officer Tefft that he forgot about the closure and once he was advised by Marine Fisheries, he removed his gear. The lobsterman stated he was getting about 40 lbs. of lobster each time. When asked about his 550 lobster pots, the lobsterman stated they were in his back yard. Officer Tefft counted only 182 pots. The lobsterman then related he threw away pots that were damaged and gave the rest to a person from Massachusetts but did not have his name or phone number. After further questioning and investigation from Officer Tefft, the lobsterman admitted to lying and confessed. The lobsterman admitted that he didn’t fish at all in 2016 and fabricated his log book recording 27 trips that he didn’t go on during the months of May, June, July, August, September and October hauling 550 pots on each trip averaging 24 to 53 lbs. of lobsters so that he wouldn’t lose his license. The lobsterman related he did this for medical reasons and honestly wasn’t aware of the closure period. The lobsterman violated 6 counts of Commercial Fishing Reporting Requirements. The license holder is required to sign and date each log book and if there were no trips the log book should state “Did Not Fish”. The lobsterman was issued an infraction for the violation.

Fishing Enforcement
On Nov. 12, 2016 Sergeant Chemacki and Officers Nivolo and Fergason received a complaint of 5 individuals who were fishing the break wall in New Haven Harbor in Long Island Sound keeping short Tautog. Sergeant Chemacki and Officers Nivolo and Fergason made contact with the individuals as they came into the boat launch. Upon checking their catch, it was determined that they possessed 32 short Tautog ranging from 8.5 inches to 15 inches and 1 short striped bass measuring 19 inches. All five men were cited with multiple counts of undersized fish and one received a summons for the short striped bass.

Hunting Enforcement
On Nov. 18, 2016 Officer Nivolo was engaged in deer hunting enforcement in the town of Orange and just after sunset parked in a field next to an abutting wood lot. Officer Nivolo saw a male exiting the wooded area behind his patrol vehicle carrying a bow and arrow and wearing full camouflage clothing wearing an orange hat. Officer Nivolo confronted the hunter and conducted a compliance check. Officer Nivolo also asked the hunter if he had any other articles of fluorescent orange clothing as it was required for archery hunters to wear during the rifle/shotgun season when walking in or out of their hunting area. The hunter stated that he did not. The male also did not have written permission to hunt the property nor did he actually know who owned the property and stated he was dropped off by a friend who allegedly knew the owner. Officer Nivolo issued the hunter a summons for illegal deer hunting on private property without written consent from the landowner and failure to wear the required 400 square inches of florescent orange.

On Nov. 19, 2016 Officer Blackwell responded to Middletown for a report of a deer hunter in a tree stand bearing a rifle not wearing the required 400 square inches of fluorescent orange on private property. Officer Blackwell determined the hunter was on private property without written consent from the landowner and along with not wearing the required 400 square inches of fluorescent orange, was within 500 feet of an occupied building with a loaded firearm. Officer Blackwell charged the hunter with Hunting w/o Written Consent, Criminal Trespass 3rd degree, Firearm Deer Hunting w/o 400 Square Inches of Fluorescent Orange and Hunting/Carrying a Loaded Firearm within 500 Feet of a Building.

On Nov. 25, 2016 Officer Reilly was dispatched to a report of hunter harassment in the town of Killingworth. Three hunters who legally obtained written consent from a landowner were confronted several times by the adjacent property owner who repeatedly utilized an air horn when they were observed by said adjacent landowner in their tree stands trying to hunt. The first incident occurred on Oct. 29th, 2016 in which the property owner, who allows the hunting, confronted his neighbor and asked for the harassment to stop. The second incident occurred on Nov. 16, 2016 followed by recurring incidents on Nov. 19th, 21st, and 25th all of which involved the adjacent property owner walking to the edge of the property line and utilizing an air horn. Several attempts to contact the adjacent homeowner were made with negative results even when said person was known to be home. An arrest warrant has been submitted for the arrest of said individual for Hunter Harassment.

On Nov. 24, 2016 Sergeant Stanko and Officer Curran were on patrol in Stonington enforcing deer hunting regulations when he heard a shot from a wooded area. Officer Stanko waited for approximately 40 minutes then observed an individual emerging from the wooded area dragging a deer to a truck parked alongside the roadway. Sergeant Stanko approached the individual to check for proper paperwork. It was determined that the individual was legally hunting on private property but failed to immediately tag his deer upon kill. When asked why he didn’t fill out his tag the male stated that he did not have one on his person to fill out. The male further stated that this was his first deer with the rifle this year and that he had harvested one deer during the archery season. As Sergeant Stanko continued his investigation another shot was heard from the same area. It was determined that the male’s adult son was actively hunting as well. Shortly thereafter the 2nd male (son) emerged dragging a deer. The son was legally hunting the property but also failed to tag his deer. As Sergeant Stanko began explaining the requirements of tagging the deer immediately upon harvest, the next-door neighbor walked over and congratulated both hunters for their harvest and commented that they were having a good year and related that they had harvested a deer the day before. With this information Sergeant Stanko asked the father if they indeed harvested a deer the day before of which the father confirmed. Sergeant Stanko determined that it was not reported within the required 24-hour time period. When asked why they did not tag and report their previous harvest the father stated they were going to but had not gotten around to it yet and decided to go hunting instead. Both deer were seized as evidence and the males were each issued a misdemeanor summons for Failure to Tag. The deer were brought to a local butcher where the meat was then donated to State Social Services in Colchester to feed the hungry.

Overall
During the month of November EnCon Police joined with the USCG and conducted several joint operations on Long Island Sound boarding multiple vessels checking for boating safety compliance and fishing violations. Numerous violations were documented and properly enforced. EnCon Officers in the Marine sector conducted 20 public safety assists and two public outreaches.

This portion of the forest also borders Waterbury Water Company property which is closed to hunting and private property. After conducting a foot patrol of the area with no results, Officer Chickos returned to his patrol vehicle. Once at his patrol vehicle, he observed two individuals walking towards his location. Both were wearing camouflage hunting pants and hunting boots with no firearms. Officer Chickos engaged the father and son in conversation as to their activities at this location, both individuals appeared nervous, stated they were not hunting, just out for a walk, and both individuals kept asking to terminate the contact. Officer Chickos separated the two individuals and the son confessed that they were indeed hunting and that their firearms were hidden in the woods with the rest of their gear. Upon speaking to the father with regard to the firearms in the woods, he continued to state that they were not hunting. Officer Chickos was led to the location of the firearms in the woods. One firearm was a 20 gauge slug gun and the other was a centerfire rifle which is illegal to use on state land. Neither individual had any fluorescent orange which is also required. At the location of the firearms, there was a tree stand set up over illegal bait consisting of cracked corn and deer cane at the base of an oak tree.

On November 18, 2016, Officer O'Brien was on patrol in the Town of Southbury. He had been previously notified by a local resident of a bait pile on Town of Southbury property. He located a black pickup truck parked in the woods. Officer O'Brien then went into the woods to locate the individual(s) who were suspected of hunting, while Sergeant Buckley arrived on scene and stayed to watch the vehicle. After a short while Sergeant Buckley saw a male walking towards the vehicle, carrying a loaded rifle, not wearing orange and throwing apples as he walked. The male admitted to placing the bait pile and showed the area where he had been hunting on adjacent piece of private property. The area also contained a bait pile of corn and multiple apples scattered over the ground.

Upon arrival, they were advised that two brothers ages 19 and 22 were waterfowl hunting at one of the ponds. While hunting, the 19 year old went to retrieve a cripple that flew to the other pond. The 22 year old heard a single shotgun shot and was radioed by the 19 year old that he dispatched the cripple and was on his way back to obtain a pole to retrieve the duck. Within minutes, the 22 year old heard two more shots back to back. About 30 minutes later the 22 year old became concerned as he had not heard or seen his brother. He conducted a brief search himself before calling 911. Officer Yescott, Officer Heath, and Sergeant Ulkus responded with an ATV to aid in the search effort. CSP K-9 Texas and EnCon K-9 Ellie Mae conducted a track and discovered the victim deceased in the water at the edge of the pond. No foul play was suspected.

On the evening of 11/21/16, Officer Hage was on deer hunting enforcement patrol in Southington. Officer Hage had been investigating a fifty-nine acre property for the past month and a half due to tips he had received. Approximately a half hour after legal shooting hours, Officer Hage entered the property and met four males carrying firearms while leaving their stands. One of the males was carrying a loaded 12 gauge shotgun on the front of his ATV. A Southington PD officer and EnCon Officer O' Brien subsequently arrived to assist. All four males admitted to deer hunting and showed the officers where their hunting stands were. Each stand had a fresh pile of corn in front of it, well within shooting distance. One of the stands also had a doe decoy approximately 9 yards away. One of the males was unable to produce written consent to hunt on the property. All four were issued a Misdemeanor Summons for the violation of Illegal hunting over bait for deer.

Job well done. Thank you.beerchug

I would like to say that in every report, these people are not 'hunters' nor are they 'deer hunting'.

These are poachers, and they engage in poaching activities.

I'm a member of the CT Hunting facebook group and took an avid interest in this due to my integrity or lack of integrity alarm going off on this one. The below quote was the post from the fathers facebook page. Kind of funny how a lot of the facts are not included as well as how he paints Encon as the bad guys in this case. Real good father figure here. Of course the son is not much better as he spent a lot of time trying to defend his dad and himself. In the end he admits they did wrong but as an old Executive Officer on one of my submarine commands told me one time, "Integrity is like your virginity...once you give it away...your not getting it back". Also noticed the lack of info on the fathers post about the deer shot the day before and not tagged.
