Weekly CO report

District 12 - Princeton area

CO Blong Lor (Center City) spent the week working anglers. He responded to nuisance-animal complaints. Time was also spent following up on investigations.

CO Koleby Dingmann (Sauk Rapids) spent the week dealing with litter complaints in the area. Dumped deer carcasses, chickens, and other animals were all found in the area. Sport fishing activity was worked on the Mississippi River. Assistance was given to local law enforcement agencies.

CO Mike Krauel (Mora) spent the week checking anglers and patrolling for ATV activity. Krauel noticed ice on area lakes is mostly out, but accesses still have ice on the boat ramps, which is preventing boats from getting out on the water. Some anglers were trying to find panfish from shore but were not having luck with the cold weather. Krauel also worked on K9 training with K9 Bolt.

CO Tshungtsim Thao (Buffalo) spent time checking anglers on local lakes and rivers. Most anglers checked had little success.

CO Justin Frisch (Cambridge) continued primarily monitoring angling activity in the area. Frisch also did equipment maintenance and responded to area grass fires.

CO Emmitt Winkels (Milaca) focused on fishing activity in the area. Winkels also fielded multiple TIP calls. Time was also spent on trespassing complaints relating to shed hunting.

CO Trent Seamans (Big Lake) focused patrols on angling activity. Additional time was spent handling miscellaneous wildlife-related complaints and investigating a potential Wetlands Conservation Act violation. Enforcement action for the week included targeting smallmouth bass during the closed season, fishing without a license, and failing to have a life jacket on a watercraft. Seamans also attended the Sand Dunes State Forest public meeting and spoke to several constituents about the area.
