UPDATE 8/22/17:  Officer Wood called to say the suspect was contacted by a friend who saw the photo in this blog post. In turn the suspect called Fish and Wildlife Police to turn himself in.  Case closed. A tip of the hat to all who helped resolve this in the best interest of public lands.

PUBLIC LANDS -- A tip from the public could help Washington Fish and Wildlife police make a case in the endless battle against people who trash boat launches and other public lands.

A suspect connected with littering at the Liberty Lake boat launch is pictured above in a surveillance camera photo officers are circulating.

"I'm trying to identify the male subject in this photo taken on July 20 at the Liberty Lake Chevron station," says officer Curt Wood. "It is believed that he lives in the area, as he stops in frequently at that gas station."

Anyone who can identify the tattooed suspect should contact Officer Wood through the Department of Fish and Wildlife's Spokane Regional Office, (509) 892-1001, or at the Spokane Washington State Patrol,  (509) 227-6560.
