On September 23, 2025, Casper Police Officers stopped a vehicle near 13th and Poplar Streets and identified the driver as having an active warrant.

K9 Barry alerted officers to narcotics in the car, prompting a search that uncovered about 16 grams of methamphetamine and other controlled substances.

Investigators learned the suspect allegedly delivered drugs to a local residence earlier that evening.

With a search warrant, officers found multiple individuals, more drugs, and paraphernalia at the residence, resulting in six arrests for drug-related offenses.

Five adults now face potential felony possession charges, highlighting the Casper Police Department’s ongoing battle against local drug distribution.

“Grateful to Casper Police for standing with us through our toughest moments.”

The radio news for the week of September 29th highlights a variety of events and updates from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.

Topics include the first ever youth pheasant hunt, updates on trail cameras for monitoring wildlife, and upcoming hunting seasons.

Additionally, there is information on hunter safety and the importance of reporting violations.

Listeners are encouraged to stay informed and engaged with wildlife conservation efforts in Wyoming.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is asking for hunters' help in collecting samples for brucellosis testing in elk herds.

The disease can spread between wildlife and livestock, impacting agriculture.

Hunters are encouraged to submit samples if hunting in designated areas, with a goal of collecting 200 samples from each herd.

Sample kits and instructions are available at game check stations, and incentives are offered for participating.

This collaborative effort aims to improve monitoring and management of brucellosis in Wyoming's wildlife populations.

Major fishing regulation changes are coming to the Jackson Region in 2026.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has lifted Jackson Lake’s long-standing October fishing closure, which has been in place for more than 70 years. Starting January 1, 2026, anglers will be able to fish Jackson Lake in October for the first time in decades.

Trout limits on the Snake River, just below Jackson Lake Dam, are also increasing—daily trout bag limits will jump from three to six, and length restrictions will be dropped for this section. This move encourages anglers to harvest more brown trout while keeping cutthroat trout limits unchanged at three, with only one over 12 inches allowed.

All updates take effect January 1, 2026—current regulations remain in place for 2025.

Local anglers are encouraged to review upcoming rules and fish responsibly to help preserve sustainable fisheries in Wyoming.
