A year-long investigation by a Coos Bay Fish & Wildlife Division trooper, in conjunction with the South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team (SCINT), led to a Bandon-area resident being cited for wildlife crimes and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
On September 24, 2014, at approximately 9:15 a.m., search warrants were served at three Bandon-area properties. OSP Fish & Wildlife troopers from the Coos Bay, Gold Beach and Roseburg offices were assisted by officers from the Bandon Police Department and SCINT detectives.
The investigation revealed that on or about August 29th, 2013, DALE J. GILBERT STONE BARKER, age 32, killed a spike elk while archery hunting in the Floras Creek area of Curry County. About two weeks later, BARKER killed a 7x7 elk while archery hunting in the same area of Floras Creek in Curry County. Both elk were retained by BARKER.
During the search of the properties, items seized related to the investigation included the following:
* One set of spike elk antlers
* Taxidermy mounted 7x7 elk shoulder mount
* Elk meat from 2013 and 2014
* Compound bow
* Two shotguns
Based on the investigation, BARKER was cited by OSP to appear in Curry County Circuit Court for Exceeding the Bag Limit for Big Game - Elk, and in Coos County Circuit Court for Unlawful Possession of Big Game - Elk and Felon in Possession of a Firearm.
Over 25 pounds of marijuana and edible marijuana products were also seized. SCINT detectives are referring charges of Unlawful Possession, Manufacture and Delivery of Marijuana to the Coos County District Attorney.
