Tips about gunfire and deer carcasses led officers to the man, who is also accused of spearing snapping turtles after he was caught shooting the deer.
According to the Department of Natural Resources, eight tips led conservation officers to 29-year Edward Trout, of Cedar Springs. Tipsters had reported nighttime gunfire and finding deer carcasses in Kent County's Nelson and Spencer townships.
Varriale interviewed Trout, who admitted to three instances of going out and shooting at deer. He said it "relieved frustration by driving around at night, listening to music and occasionally shooting his pistol into vacant fields from his pickup truck," often while under the influence of alcohol and/or marijuana.Read more stories from around Michigan here.
In Michigan, snapping turtles can be harvested from July 15-Sept. 15 using a trap or a hook and line. Varriale began investigating a tip on June 7. "We’re grateful for the concerned community members who reported the many dead, gunshot deer that were discovered throughout these communities, which helped officers identify a suspect," said Chief Dave Shaw, DNR Law Enforcement Division. "The suspect has continued to display repetitive, unethical behavior while stealing public trust resources and allowing them to go to waste."
