Missouri man faces charges of poaching elk in wildlife refuge
A Summersville man has been charged in a November 2025 elk poaching case, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation, in part due to information provided by the community.
The man, who was not named in a news release, is facing four charges in Carter County courts: Taking elk inconsistent with the rules (season and permit) of the “Wildlife Code of Missouri,” taking elk inside a state wildlife refuge, taking elk with the aid of artificial light and wanton waste of the elk. The man is set to appear in court on April 14.
Poaching is taking wildlife outside of season, without the proper permit or in other violation of the Wildlife Code of Missouri.
According to the news release, a Poplar Bluff couple found a mature bull elk shot dead “and left to rot” inside the wildlife refuge at the MDC Peck Ranch Conservation Area on Nov. 26, 2025. Conservation agents responded and began investigating the scene, documenting and storing evidence, and performing a necropsy.
In addition to interviewing potential witnesses, agents received several anonymous calls and Operation Game Thief reports related to the elk’s death. Agents also used surveillance video from a cooperating business and information from search warrants, as well as analytical and firearm tracking-support from the Missouri State Highway Patrol Forensics Lab and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Brad Hadley, the lead conservation agent on the investigation, said cooperation from community members and OGT hotline tips helped the case progress.
“This speaks to how much people in Missouri value our wildlife and support efforts to conserve and protect it,” Hadley said in the news release. “From the couple driving the elk viewing route in Peck Ranch who first reported it, to all the people who provided tidbits of information, to the local business that gladly shared its pertinent security videos, to the prosecutors and courts that granted the search warrants, and to the MSHP Forensics Lab and the ATF — a tremendous thank you!”
The Operation Game Thief hotline allows people to report poaching and other possible violations of the Wildlife Code of Missouri by calling 800-392-1111. Callers may remain anonymous and may be considered for a reward.

Missouri City police bust chop shop operation, discovering at least 10 stolen cars, officials say
MISSOURI CITY, Texas (KTRK) — Authorities say police officers busted a major automotive chop shop operation in Missouri City on Tuesday, discovering multiple stolen vehicles and parts.
According to the Missouri City Police Department, officers responded to a “suspicious vehicle call” at a local business on Tuesday at 12:04 p.m., where a neighbor reported that a box truck without license plates dropped off car parts.
Officers said they arrived at the scene and saw the box truck leaving the property located at 2105 Brown St. Authorities said that officers conducted a traffic stop on the truck, and the driver of the vehicle, Francisco Tivar Reyes, was arrested on a warrant for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and possession of stolen vehicle parts.
Officials said that patrol officers spoke with the business owner and asked about the recent delivery of car parts. Investigators said they did a check of a VIN number on a pickup truck on the property and confirmed that it was stolen.
A total of six vehicles on the property were confirmed to be stolen, according to officials. The owner of the business, Mohammed Fattoe, was arrested for possession of stolen property, police said.
Investigators said they returned to the site on Wednesday to resume the investigation. With the assistance of the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office, a search warrant was obtained, and the business property was searched for additional stolen property, investigators said, adding that a total of ten vehicles and vehicle parts were confirmed by multiple agencies.
SkyEye13 flew above the scene on Wednesday morning, capturing images of authorities investigating the property and the multiple vehicles and car parts.
SkyEye13 was over the scene in Missouri City on Wednesday morning, with authorities investigating the “major auto chop shop operation.”
Missouri City police said the investigation is still ongoing, with search warrants on the property being executed to identify additional stolen vehicles and parts.
Authorities added that multiple agencies are working together on the investigation, including the Houston Police Department, Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Department, Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office, National Insurance Crime Bureau, and the Texas Department of Public Safety.
