CO’s to go after cougar in Marysville

Officer with cougar hounds sent to Marysville C AROLYN GR ANT bulletin@cyberlink.ca

A Conservation Officer with hounds is going after a cougar that has now been seen three times in Marysville in the last week. The big cat has been seen twice on 310th Avenue and once on Main Street. It has also been seen taking a household pet. Conservation Officer Joe

Carravetta says it’s important that people call in sightings like that because in order to send a CO with cougar hounds out to get a cougar, they need a history on the cat. “If we get a call that’s fresh, we’ll send out the officer with cougar hounds,” Carravetta said. “If there’s that many sightings, we’ll send him out today.” He says they don’t trap cougars for transport elsewhere. If they are hunting in town, they will be put down.

Another Kimberley resident has been arrested for suspicion of cocaine tracking, says Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel. The cocaine was seized in Marysville after officers gained sufficient evidence that a male and female were involved in the trafficking of drugs. “A search warrant was obtained for the male’s residence which was executed right after the arrest,” Newel said. “At total of 6 grams of what was held out to be cocaine, in two separate packages, was seized.” The 38 year old male is currently in custody facing charges of Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking.
