Conservation officers responded to a tip submitted to the Ministry of Natural Resources TIPS line and found a shot and abandoned cow moose. The Ontario Court of Justice heard how a lengthy investigation involving the ministry's canine unit, multiple interviews, and the execution of a search warrant at Thibeault's residence was carried out following the tip.

Justice of the Peace Estelle Bérubé presided over the case, which was heard in Cochrane on March 4. In the bulletin, ministry officials said, 'The Ontario government is safeguarding moose populations by ensuring hunters follow the rules when hunting.'
