CPO Francisko was checking fishermen along the Mississippi River. The CPO watched fishermen at Lock and Dam No. 14 near Hampton for quite awhile before approaching them. A Chicago man had stopped fishing and was at a picnic table by the time the CPO made contact with him. The man stated, “I’m just watching these guys fish.” The CPO stated, “We both know that’s a lie.” The subject dropped his head and stated, “Yes we do.” The man was issued a citation for fishing without a valid fishing license.
