Welcome to Arrest Stories. A twenty-five-year-old woman faces multiple hunting violation charges in Wyoming after authorities say she falsely claimed residency to obtain local hunting licenses. Here's what may have happened.
Samantha Strable was arrested in Sublette County, Wyoming on November twenty-first and faces six counts of false swearing, taking wildlife without a license, and nonresident hunting without a guide in a wilderness area. The charges stem from allegations that Strable falsely declared she lived in Wyoming to obtain resident hunting licenses.
According to police reports, US authorities received an anonymous tip on August eleventh about Strable's alleged hunting violations. A search of the Game and Fish license database shows Strable started buying resident licenses in twenty twenty-two.
The investigation revealed that social media posts from April thirtieth, twenty twenty-four to June twenty-eighth, twenty twenty-five allegedly placed Strable in Montana and North Dakota, contradicting her claims of Wyoming residency. These posts became key evidence in building the case against her.
Strable was booked into the Sublette County jail on November twenty-first but was released from custody on her own recognizance the same day. The charges she faces carry serious implications for hunting violations in the state.
The case highlights ongoing efforts by wildlife authorities to crack down on hunting license fraud, particularly involving nonresidents who attempt to circumvent regulations designed to manage wildlife resources and hunting access.
Strable has previously drawn attention for other controversial incidents involving wildlife. The investigation into her hunting practices appears to be part of a broader pattern of alleged violations related to wildlife interactions.
The false swearing charges suggest authorities believe Strable knowingly provided false information when applying for resident hunting licenses. Wyoming law requires specific residency requirements to qualify for resident hunting privileges, which typically offer lower fees and expanded hunting opportunities compared to nonresident licenses.
