While patrolling the Hackensack Meadowlands during the waterfowl season, Lt. Applegate and COs Kuechler, Sutton and Holmes encountered a group of hunters that included an individual had been apprehended last season for waterfowl violations. The officers observed the hunters shoot well beyond legal hours, and saw several Canada Geese downed, although the season for geese was closed. Unable to reach their location by boat, Lt. Applegate was able to locate their vehicle parked on a rail road bed. The officer waited as two individuals eventually approached the truck. As the officer announced himself, one individual started shouting about throwing everything in the water, fell to the ground, and clutched his chest as he claimed he was having a heart attack.
