Officers responded to reports of shotgun pellets hitting homes on Saltmarsh Road off Madison Bay in Dorchester County and charged an adult with four hunting violations.<\/p>\n

William Frederick Mcglaughin, 28, of Cambridge, received citations for hunting within a safety zone, having a loaded firearm in a vehicle, hunting with an unplugged shotgun and hunting on private land without written permission. He received a warning for having a second unplugged gun and one for hunting without having his license with him.<\/p>\n

Two juveniles were referred to the Department of Juvenile Services for similar violations.<\/p>\n

Forbes and Joel Dewright Broadaway, 53, of Elon, N.C., received citations for hunting without a\u00a0license, a violation that carries a fine of $300.<\/p>\n

Collins received three citations each for failing to field tag the deer and for removing the head\/hide before check in. He received one citation each for failing to record the kill on a harvest record, for failing to report a kill within 24 hours and for failing to record the confirmation number on the harvest record.<\/p>\n

He received two warnings for failing\u00a0to\u00a0record kill on a harvest record, two warnings for failing to report\u00a0a kill within 24 hours, two warnings for failing to record confirmation number on a harvest record and one warning for failing to field tag\u00a0deer.<\/p>\n
