POINT HARBOR, N.C. (WAVY) — An AR-15 rifle was stolen out of a North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission truck at a Currituck County park, officials say.

Senior Officer Jarrett Culbreth tells WAVY the rifle was stolen Thursday afternoon at Sound Park in Point Harbor.

Culbreth says the gun was locked into a gun rack, which is bolted into the truck’s floor and ceiling.

The thief busted out the truck’s driver’s side window and broke the rack’s locking mechanism, according Culbreth. The truck was at the park on official duty at the time.

The Currituck County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident.
 
I know they are locked in a rack, but I've always wondered about the gun in plain view like they are (inbetween the two front seats.) Although it's not as accessible, behind or under the rear seat seems like a better option.
 
Good! Maybe NCWRC will start patrolling the wildlife ramps more and start actually arresting these POS meth heads that have been breaking into all the vehicles at the ramps. This isn't anything new and I'm not supprized one bit. It has been pretty bad in eastern NC for the past 2 years. They're even brazen enough to break into trucks when the parking lots are full during the shad/rock run. Some good old boys were going to set up cameras etc to catch the meth heads in the act and the NCWRC heard about this came after them (telling them they better not or else) last year from what I read on the fishing forum.
 
Maybe we should ban trucks. Then there would be no place to allow the disadvantages to acquire funds from stealing to feed themselves. As you know its not about the thief or the crime- It's all about why the person was forced to steal to feed themselves. e Or better yet maybe they could just leave the trucks unlocked and that would avoid a breaking and entering charge.

Why is it they need them but we don't?

I'm all for banning the bunny police. Never meet one that did a dang thing anyway.

Our wildlife officers arrest people all the time. Mostly BWI and they set up stings at the boat ramps for B&E's. Maybe it's just our area.

I don't see much of a difference. ;)
Thugs and bullies folks. When you strip away the symbols of officialdom the (lack of) contrast becomes stark.

Sounds like you two have personal experience, care to share??? Can you fathom the poaching we would have without them?? You'd sit in the woods for weeks and never see a deer, 'cause they have all been shot and killed.

For the education of some, and just fodder for others. A NCWRC enforcement officer has more power and authority than a State Trooper or any other LEO in the state. They can search your vehicle on the spot with or without your permission and can also enter you home under the same authority. Look it up.....

As for his rifle, he was issued the rifle, required to have it in his vehicle during his normal day and was given a lock installed in his vehicle and then when it's stolen why hold him responsible?? He didn't install the POS lock, maybe he didn't want the rifle to begin with. Think about it.....

As for vehicle break in's on boat ramps, ever notice how quite a few bodies are "discovered" around boat ramps?? Several a year... Some problems self cure...
 
Yes. Real Cops, at least as far as authority and sometimes training goes. As are law enforcement Rangers in National Parks. I'm not sure what their jurisdictional boundaries are, assuming those guys are Federal it may surprise a lot of folks.

I would think that the brackets and boxes securing firearms in LEO vehicles "benefits" from being supplied by the lowest bidder ;)

This is a part of their "authoritay" that needs to be done away with.


ps ... if you think the bunnie squad is what keeps the deer population thriving, that's almost funny.

Why, so people can have time to do away with the evidence?? Any stories you care to share??

The 4th amendment comes to mind.

The people of course. Who do you think really support the deer population, the hunter of course. They put more time and money into this resource then anyone.
It sure isn't the storm troopers in green.
 
Think about this logically, yes, the people that pay taxes and buy licenses support the efforts financially but who do you think does all the actual work?? The employees of NCWRC, that's who. Without someone to carry out the conservation programs there wouldn't be any need for the money. And while we're at it, you do realize that the "storm troopers" also pay taxes and buy licenses, right?? I would imagine that with your attitude you have some interesting interactions with Wardens, assuming you even hunt or fish.....
 
I can think of a few groups that do a hell of alot more for conservation than the NC WRC. RMEF, Duck Unlimited, Trout Unlimited, NWTF.....
Hell they (NCWRC) couldn't even decide if hogs should have an open season or not for 10 years, or whether or not the red wolf aka hybrid coyote being released on private land by the feds violated the NC WRC charter.

Regardless, I don't think the NC General Assembly ever envisioned Wildlife Officers wearing ghillie suits using night vision carrying AR15s operating remote control fake deer to bust some 'poacher' on his own land. Or becoming the de facto Highway Patrol on the inland waterway.

This right here tells me all I need to know about the current state of mind of the Rabbit Sheriff
http://www.greenvilleonline.com/sto...ng-case-moves-congressional-inquiry/71183564/

"
In an account by Rachell Crisp, wife of Chad Crisp, she wrote that 29 officers with assault rifles drawn stormed into their home as they executed a search warrant, terrifying their two young children.

The letter is accompanied by a child's drawing showing stick figures holding black guns.

Officials with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission deny that allegation. Their officers do not wear body cameras."

And as a token of street cred, I have 2 good friends who are WRC Wildlife officers. We're only friends when they're off duty lol.

Me hunt or fish ... bwahahahahaha!

Again most of the ones Ive met are power hungry butt holes.

I would be more than happy to see a budget cut in that section of wasted .gov enterprises.

I have never had to deal with them in a "I did something illegal way" but in a "they are being a pest" looking for something because they are so bored with the actual inactivity that they must make up things to do.

The .gov has done more to screw up nature then it has ever "fixed".

I don't think I've read anything good about "Something Bruin". Seems to be a disaster of epic proportions.

Although it is a mixed bag with NCWRC. I've dealt with officers outside of their game duties, during educational events, and they are great with the kids. The reality is, before the introduction of seasons and limits, deer where nearly hunted out in NC. We kill more deer each year now than existed in NC around 1900. We hunted the elk completely out of existence. Probably along with habitat loss too. They need a lot of open ground. But we tried letting folks make their own rules with game animals before, it has never worked out in the animals or the hunters favor. Buffalo, deer, elk, turkey, the list goes on. People will hunt them until there are few, if any, left. I remember when turkey was nearly non existent in this part of NC. A friend dad's family had 150 acres bordering South Mtns Game lands. The NCWRC came in and stocked turkey on his land if he would not hunt them for 5 years. They eventually spread from his property out the the gamelands and surrounding areas. They are nearly everywhere around here now.

Having seasons and limits is a far piece from stormtrooper raids and methods derived straight from Waco.
WRC and ALE are 2 overlapping agencies that could be done away with.

It is, which is what my comment about SB was. From what I have read, I hope they loose and loose big. That got way out of hand.

But just like the Gov discussion, too much gov is tyranny and no gov is anarchy. Neither has brought forth a decent society. Too bad the middle ground seems to be even harder to hold onto than tyranny.

At least they are consistent with being Jerks. They will not cut anyone a break. I've seen all kinds of officers with charges from the bunny cops. I'm ok with how serious they take their jobs. I can't think of many other officers that it's almost 100% they are going to deal with someone with a gun on every stop and are mostly alone.
 
I’ve only ever had one run with a wildlife officer and he just stopped to check our fishing licenses and ask us if we saw who was doing donuts in the parking lot of the Roanoke River boat ramp in Williamston. Wasn’t a bad interaction. We never see them around here. I’ve called them to complain about some dumping of carcasses once and they didn’t even come out
 
This boils my blood worse than anything, trumped up charges and the sorry B's were the ones doing the illegal stuff.
Over 2 million of tax payers dollars spent on this fiasco, I wish they'd throw the book at them.
But as it always is, they are above the law.
Just like fast and furious, nothing will happen.
Hope they walk in the woods someday and they get licked by a fuzzy cute little bear.

Exactly. They just make sure you pay the King for the privilege of hunting in nature.

When you have cops running around with far too much authority and no warrants needed to protect fish and squirrels I could give two squirts about over hunting. They are there to enforce the fees and demands of the State over something they don't damn well own, period.

I have no faith in humanity to have self control.
 
The WO who spoke at our hunter safety class told us he was on the way home and pulled over a guy who was
all over the road, he was DUI way over the limit and has his 5yr old daughter in the truck without carseat.
He was on phone saying 'oh just a wildlife officer'. Said officer testified at the trial and Judge gave him max
based on the fact the kid was in the truck without car seat. Just a WO indeed.
 
If a person kills a squirrel or a deer or a whatever to feed his family, I have no problem with when and or how he does it.

If he kills to kill and leaves it lay, kills it for sport or for just the antlers, thats the person I have a problem with. I am talking about deer.
I have no problem in killing yotes for fun or profit.

So we need laws like gun control to stop them, right.


I wish we had laws to make people pay a fine for killing deer with cars.
Far more are killed by cars/trucks every year then are killed by people jacking them.
And that is pure waste.
