Florence man pleads guilty to illegal deer hunting in Northampton wildlife sanctuary
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (WWLP) – A Florence man has pleaded guilty to multiple wildlife violations following the illegal killing of a deer within Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary late last year. Amherst community face ICE arrests despite sanctuary status According to the Massachusetts Environmental Police, on the night of Nov. 30, 2024, an Environmental Police officer observed suspicious activity involving the use of artificial light to locate deer—an illegal tactic known as 'spotlighting'—within the boundaries of the protected sanctuary in Northampton. A subsequent traffic stop and investigation revealed a deceased white-tailed deer that had been unlawfully taken with a crossbow. The suspect, a 38-year-old Florence resident, admitted to the violations and recently entered a guilty plea in court. He was found guilty of several charges, including hunting during closed season (nighttime), unlawful killing of deer, hunting in a wildlife sanctuary, use of an automatic weapon (crossbow), and hunting with artificial light. As part of a plea agreement, the man was ordered to pay $850 in fines and $500 in restitution. He also received a one-year suspension of his hunting license, was placed on probation for one year, and forfeited the crossbow used in the offense. The Massachusetts Environmental Police emphasized the importance of protecting the state's wildlife and natural resources. The agency encourages the public to report suspicious or illegal environmental activity by calling 1-800-632-8075.

Kidnapping suspect arrested after I-25 chase facing new charge
(PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo.) — The suspect arrested on Monday, May 26, after a high-speed chase on I-25 and for an alleged kidnapping, is facing new charges from an unrelated incident that happened in Lakewood, Colorado, according to the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office (PCSO). PCSO said on Monday, deputies were called to a robbery at the Circle K in northern Colorado City, just off I-25. While deputies responded, they learned the suspect left the scene in a 2020 grey Ford Escape, and around that same time, learned of a kidnapping report where the victim's vehicle matched the description of the Ford Escape and information pointed to the victim being in the area. A deputy later located the car and attempted to pull it over, but the driver sped away from the deputy, starting a chase that ended in Huerfano County north of Walsenburg. Deputies arrested the driver, identified as 28-year-old Shane McSwane; the kidnapping victim was shaken and emotionally distraught but uninjured. Deputies learned McSwane had allegedly carjacked the woman on Sunday night, May 25, in Aurora, and said he then drove the woman against her will for nearly four hours, going as far south as the town of Aguilar. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Kidnapping victim rescued after 30-mile chase on I-25 On Friday, May 30, PCSO said McSwane is being held in the Pueblo County Jail and facing a new charge of Attempted First-Degree Murder from an unrelated incident in Lakewood. Lakewood Police had issued a $250,000 warrant for McSwane for Attempted First-Degree Murder and Assault with a Deadly Weapon related to the incident that happened within their jurisdiction.

Cambodia and western Massachusetts intertwined at the State House
BOSTON (WWLP) – The State House is showcasing Cambodian heritage with an exhibit telling the stories of the Khmer people in Amherst. The Amherst Historical Society and Museum and Amherst Media, alongside a community of partners and Cambodian people, put together an exhibit telling the history of western Massachusetts Khmer community. This exhibit features artwork, clothing, photographs, and history lessons about the Khmer Rouge and how the Amherst community provided sanctuary for recent immigrants. An influx of Cambodians fled genocide in their home country in the mid-1970s and resettled in Amherst. 'Your story matters. Our lives matter, and everyone needs to hear it. I think it's huge for Western Mass to be present here on Beacon Hill,' said Amherst Media's Interim Executive Director, Yanna Ok. Since then, many Cambodian families have relocated to cities like Lowell, and their history in western Massachusetts was already being lost to time. That's when Cambodian refugees and the Amherst Historical Society came together to make sure their stories are a documented part of the community's history. 'Khmer history is so important to Western Mass. And it's a lost history that we want to continue to share and preserve for you all,' said Vira Douangmany Cage, Amherst Media's Board President. As part of the preserving history effort, the exhibition opening featured traditional Cambodian dance. Although the original Amherst exhibit has closed, there will be a virtual tour available, and portions of the exhibit will be displayed inside the State House for the next week.
