NC Wildlife Uses Anonymous Tips from tip411 to Arrest and Convict Suspects in Illegal Hunting Case

An anonymous tip to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission’s NC WILDTIP (Turn-In-Poachers) program, powered by tip411, resulted in the arrests of two individuals who have been found guilty on 15 counts of unlawfully taking deer at night with the use and aid of an artificial light, referred to as spotlighting. In total, the anonymous tip resulted in five people receiving more than 160 combined charges related to the illegal hunting and killing of deer.
 
The guilty parties have been ordered to pay $9,030 in replacement costs for illegally killing 15 deer at night in Duplin County, along with fines and hunting licenses being revoked.
 
“It’s a big penalty we hope sends a strong message,” said Captain Chad Arnold, who heads NCWRC’s Investigative Unit and NC WILDTIP program. “We typically don’t see punishments like this, but we also typically don’t find individuals who kill 15 deer in one night’s illegal escapades.”
 
In November 2023, NC WILDTIP received an anonymous tip about this incident and included a photo of the suspect posing with 15 antlerless white-tailed deer.
 
In the six months ending in May, NCWRC has received 598 tips through NC WILDTIP and rewarded a total of $3,478. Anyone with information on illegal hunting can anonymously submit information through the secured online reporting tool located on the agency’s website. Information may also be submitted by texting keyword WILDTIP and the tip information to 847411.

Interim Chief Rod Pollard said the department’s success lies with its connection to the community.

“Our new system will allow us to continue delivering exceptional police services that enable the safety, security, and well-being of all by promoting a stronger partnership with our community members,” Pollard said.

According to Lieutenant Chris Monahan, the new system developed by tip411 is similar to Crime Solvers or Crime Stoppers but is more comprehensive.

“This tool is far more comprehensive and allows us to have direct dialogue with the person submitting the tip,” Monahan said. “So, an individual might send out information in reference to a wanted individual, and someone might respond to that with: ‘hey, I think I might know that person or I might have seen that person,’ and we can respond directly to that tipster and have some dialogue.”

Juliana McGrath, HPD communication specialist, says Harrisonburg PD app allows the community not only to submit tips, but they can also sign up to receive different alerts. For example, you can choose from traffic alerts or crime updates, to name a few. McGrath said that HPD plans to provide all sorts of notifications.

The public can submit anonymous tips to the Harrisonburg PD by texting HPDVA and the tip information to 847411. The Harrisonburg PD app can be downloaded for free at the Apple App Store and Google Play App Store.
