On November 2, 2007 a hunter in Paugussett State Forest reported a pickup truck traveling on state forest property and a natural gas pipeline. The truck was reported to be traveling at a high rate of speed on trails that are closed to motor vehicles. The hunter also reported that the occupants of the truck were firing a gun out of the truck. EnCon Police Officer Chris Dwyer responded and met with officers from the Newtown Police Department. A Newtown PD Sergeant advised Officer Dwyer that he had officers at the points of exits from the state forest and believed the vehicle was still in the forest somewhere. Officer Dwyer and two Newtown officers then began tracking the vehicle on foot through the forest. At that time the sun was setting and it was getting dark.
Officer Dwyer located tire tracks in the moist soil. The officers continued the track through the woods for approximately 4 miles. Along the way Officer Dwyer noted a number of trees that were damaged or cut right down. Some of the trees looked to be 5-6 inches in diameter. Based on the sawdust and the cut on the tree it appeared as if a chainsaw was used to cut the trees. As the officers continued on the forest trail parallel to Lake Zoar they located the pickup truck at approximately 10pm. The pickup truck was parked with the suspects seated inside the vehicle. The suspects were ordered out of the truck and handcuffed. The vehicle and the suspects were searched for weapons and no weapons were found. One of the subjects stated to the officers " We knew you guys were looking for us, but we thought we could wait you out". " We were tipped off by our friends who knew about the search and called us on our cell phones". Officers also found a chainsaw; pruning shears and a hatchet that the suspects admitted were used to cut trees out of the vehicles path. All of those items were seized and the driver was arrested for Criminal Mischief 3rd degree, Criminal Trespass 3rd degree, Interfering with an officer, Hours of operation in a state forest and Unauthorized use of trails in a state forest.
Illegal deer hunting
On November 12, 2007, two days before the opening of Connecticut's firearm deer season EnCon Police officer John Hey was checking private property in the town of Redding. Officer Hey noticed numerous tree stands on the property that were put up recently. Believing that these tree stands were to be used during the up coming deer season Officer Hey contacted the property owner and determined that he had not given anyone permission to deer hunt on his property. Two days later, on the opening day of firearms deer season, Officer Hey and Officer Jeff Samorajczyk again checked the private property. Officer Hey observed a subject hunting from a tree stand. Both officers approached the subject and asked whose property he was hunting and he gave the name of the property owner that Officer Hey had spoken to two days prior. The subject produced a consent form and valid deer tags and told Officer Hey that he had gotten the consent form from the landowner. The subject was told to return to the road and wait for the officers. Officer Hey and Samorajczyk then located three other hunters on the private property. All of the subjects had consent forms in their possession. Upon questioning the subjects, Officer Hey determined that the first subject that they located had forged the signature of the landowner on all of the consent forms. The subject was charged with 4 counts of Forgery 3rd degree, False statement on the deer consent form, and Deer hunting without landowner's consent.
On November 17, 2007, EnCon Police officers John Hey and Jeff Samorajczyk were on patrol working deer hunters in the town of Easton.
