Warden Rights Called Crucial to Enforce Fish Laws
HOT SPRINGS Ark AP Ed Albaugh head of the legal division of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission warned that game wardens must assume powers like other law enforcers or Arkansas fish and game laws fall apart. He told the Southeast Association that wardens can end up as defendants, since the legal role is ill defined and they handle misdemeanors with no justifiable homicide during arrest. Wardens act at their own risk to maintain respect for regulations.
