A Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agent was found dead this morning, Sept. 30, in West Feliciana Parish. The body of Sgt. Paul Stuckey, 47, of Zachary, was found by local fishermen at the old ferry landing near the banks of the Mississippi River just outside of St. Francisville at daybreak. West Feliciana Sheriff's Office (WFSO) deputies were the first on the scene and found Sgt. Stuckey with a shotgun wound to his chest next to his patrol vehicle. The WFSO notified LDWF at 7 a.m. "Our hearts go out to the Sgt. Stuckey family and his extended family of fellow agents will be there to help them through this tough time," said Col. Winton Vidrine, head of the LDWF Enforcement Division. According to LDWF dispatch, Sgt. Stuckey's last known communication with the department was at 2:15 a.m. identifying that he was responding to a night hunting complaint. Sgt. Stuckey had been with the LDWF Enforcement Division for 18 years. The cause of his death is currently under investigation. His body was turned over to the West Feliciana Coroners Office

sure hoping they catch the folks that did this. I really, REALLY hate to hear about a game warden being killed in the line of duty.

May have walked up on a drug deal. The road to that old ferry landing is one way in, one way out. Night hunters tend to use boats in the river.

The job they do, and the risk they take, for the 'pay' they get defies logic. When it comes to 'thankless' jobs, I'm guessing that one has got to be near the top of the list. Prayer said for his family, friends and co-workers left behind and for justice for those that perpetrated this.

May have walked up on a drug deal. The road to that old ferry landing is one way in, one way out. Night hunters tend to use boats in the river. yeah, that's a really spooky place.....WGM's deer lease is just across the river on the east bank. could have been poachers, or could have been a drug deal off a ship in the river. either way, hope they catch them.

I hope they resist and the coroner gets them as well.

Heh. West Feliciana is on the east bank. WGM's lease must be on the west bank? grins.

Question was raised elsewhere, where the hell was his backup?, where was his dispatch?
5 hours later? I know that CO's are often solo acts but they still check in with dispatch at least in most places I have worked.
Rest in peace....

Online video news report said due to funding constraints there are only 11 agents to cover the 5 parish area and due to being so sparsely covered (which is way denser coverage than Georgia has) that solo calls are the norm and it is NOT procedure to check in after a call. It would seem at the very least they could change the check in procedure.
