Dispatch Text:

On May 4, 2025, at approximately 1534 hours, the Alaska Wildlife Troopers received a complaint from Carrian Mueller that she was out to her bear bait site and noticed that someone else had put a bear bait station on the trail that she uses and that it was not posted. The investigation revealed that Tyler Spiegel had registered a bait station at that location but failed to post his permit. Another violation that was observed was that the bait station was less than a quarter mile from the Rippy Trail. Spiegel was contacted and received a citation for the violations and removed the bait that was too close to the trail.
