Two Men Busted for Hunting at Night from a Car
10/23/2006
At 10 p.m. Oct. 14, Maryland Natural Resources Police (NRP) charged Jeffery Lynn Oliver, 20, of Mechanicsville and Matthew John Alvey, 18, of Indian Head, with hunting deer at night and possession of a loaded weapon in a vehicle.
NRP officers in Welcome observed a spotlight being shined into the woods and fields from a GMC pickup truck. The officer stopped the truck and found it to be operated by Oliver.
NRP seized as evidence, six firearms, three shotguns and three rifles, assorted ammunition, a hand-held spotlight and a bone saw. One rifle and one shotgun were loaded.
::)When are people gonna learn, thats not hunting.

good for the NRP, freaking spot lighters give real hunters a bad rap. i remember a while back (several years) me and one of my buddies were riding around Chapel Point shooting bottle rockets at deer that were near the road, when all the sudden we were surrounded by 4 NRP broncos and they had the shotguns and pistols drawn. i was scared as hell. they got us out of the car and after a few minutes af shaking in my shoes and trying to explain we were just stupid kids shooting bottle rockets and not poaching the NRP just laughed, took our fireworks and sent us home. i guess they thought it was as funny as i do now and probably a good training drill for them. but it is a life lesson i will never forget... if you are going to shoot bottle rockets at deer and get a good laugh, DO IT ON PRIVATE PROPERTY>.. ha ha ha ha ha

I hope they nab those two fellas for everything they can!
The officers love those arrests as much as we do. My Dad was NRP and he lived for those type cases. A few years ago I got to ride night patrol with a warden in PA checking for spotlighters, pretty fun evening and those guys really enjoy it. When they're after jacklighters they are hunting just as much as we are when we're chasing deer!
