Trespassed and caught on Carnation Farms property and allegedly killed a cow elk. Caught on security cams at 3am with night vision gear.

“Developing story”

Everyone knows who the suspect in the recent assassination is, but he hasn't been tried yet either.

Poaching a carnation farm elk in the valley here is a mortal sin in and of itself.

Can only seize what was used in the crime. Driving a vehicle to a location is not enough. Shooting from the vehicle would be a different story.
