For the amount of time and effort dedicated to that investigation it’s sad they got off so easy. The fact the state didn’t want to move forward with prosecution is wild. At least a future precedent was set for similar crime. They should have went after the drugs and locked these dirtbags up for an extended stay.

Being in LE for a long time I’m shocked at the game wardens comment that they didn’t want to pursue the drugs because the game violations go away, meaning the more serious charges take precedence.

We often faced this dilemma but always sided with the more serious offense per public safety and deferred to the agency best equipped to handle it.

They could have split charges. US Wildlife assisted by Kansas DNR do the poaching and the applicable state pursue the drugs. I have a ton of questions about this case if I could talk to the officers.
