On Sept. 1, ECO Dalecki responded to reports of an individual shooting at a crow from a motor vehicle in the town of Cayuta. The complainant reportedly heard the shot, followed the vehicle, and provided a description to the Schuyler County Sherriff’s Office and New York State Police, which contacted ECOs to assist. An investigation by law enforcement at the location confirmed the subject had shot at the crow while seated in his vehicle. Officer Dalecki issued four tickets to the subject: two misdemeanors for having a loaded gun in a motor vehicle and shooting from a public highway; and two violations for taking wildlife while in or on a motor vehicle and taking wildlife from a public highway. The fine range is $200-$1,000 for each of the misdemeanors and up to $250 for the violations. All charges are pending in the Town of Cayuta Court.
