Well, the warden got reduced charges and the shooter got greatly reduced charges as well. Nobody got very prosecuted despite the potential sentencing that could have resulted.

Greatly reduced? From an accidental shooting of a warden who was off duty poaching and sneaking around thinking he was gonna bust someone breaking game laws? I think they got the right sentence. An accident isn't purpose. Poaching is on purpose especially when you're a Game Warden. But oh well

I remember that original thread. This outcome has shocked me, it even says the officer that came to his aide had been caught doing the same thing in (2013?). Game Wardens poaching, multiple times. Unreal.

The internal affairs investigation also revealed that the biologist with the state agency — a friend of Fried’s who located him after he was shot — had also violated hunting rules during the 2013 hunting season. http://www.mystatesman.com/news/news/wou....3553564.735784Looks like both had their hands in the cookie jar.

My loose count on the statesman article I posted shows at least 5ish times these two poached.

Most game wardens hunt when and where they want. Laws are for citizens.

Wow this makes me feel good. I donated a high dollar shotgun to a group of wardens raising money for the guy. How could they accept? Wow, seems everyone's in it together, having a punishment handed out by your friends is ridiculous. A party that is neutral should have given the punishment out, non TPWD affiliated, just sad all around. I hope the guy makes a full recovery, but this is jacked, I will no longer be donating to TPWD either.
Why is it that every time I push #1 for english, I cannot understand the person on the other end???

That means folks knew he was a law breaker and still raising donations for him. Lots of fundraisers were done for him...all under the guise of him being one of the good guys. https://www.google.com/search?q=chris+fried+fundraiser&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8What I don't understand is how TPWD thinks he can do his job. With this information known, every person that goes to court on one of his tickets is going to call into question his credibility as an LEO given that he, himself is an offender.

The scariest part to me is that his buddy that came to help him had been caught doing it too. So that makes me feel likes its not one bad apple, but a bigger problem.

I am not sure fundraisers would still have proceeded had they known their buddy was doing illegal hunting prior to the accident. I am also thinking the warden will be challenged more to defend the tickets he issues, maybe to the point where TWPD realizes it simply has to move him. Still amused by the "... workers comp..."

Let's at least hope his buddy knew the secret spot because of that. No matter how bad this tastes, we sure don't like anyone - including the rule breaking warden - losing his life due to the trouble of finding him promptly.

I agree-I really don't understand how a warden who commits a game crime keeps his job. That should be a hard & fast Rule #1. It's not like he didn't know, didn't understand, or forgot. Compares to bankers embezzling, etc.
