On October 16, 2019, an OSP Trooper responded to a complaint of suspicious hunter activity within the city limits of Ashland. A local resident in the 600 Block of Thornton Way, reported observing a male loading a deer into a pickup while parked on a city street.

The Trooper arrived on scene and contacted multiple neighboring residents. The Trooper found a short blood trail leading from a bush, which was against a neighboring house, that lead to a row of hedges along the city street.

The male had dumped the buck deer and rifle on the Tiller/Trail Highway after the incident, which the Trooper recovered. The deer was found to be a trophy class 4x4 buck.

The suspect, Dustin McGrorty, age 38, from Riddle, was charged with Hunting Prohibited: Within City Limits, Unlawful Take/Possession of Buck Deer, Unlawful Use of Weapon, and Criminal Trespass II. He was warned for Hunting on Public Roadway and Fail to Validate Tag. A second adult male, name not released, will also be charged with Aiding in Wildlife Offense and Criminal Trespass II.
