Rapid City man, family members plead guilty to hunting violations in Nebraska

CHADRON, Neb. -- A Rapid City man and three family members from northwest Nebraska recently pleaded guilty to multiple hunting violations dating back to October.

Dawes County, Neb., court records indicate that Adam J. Debock, 21, of Chadron; Clarissa Williams-Debock, 19, of Chadron; Scott E. Debock, 32, of Rapid City; and Robert Debock, 59, of Crawford, were convicted of 28 counts of various hunting violations associated with three incidents.

Their combined damages, fines and court costs totaled $6,542.

Nebraska conservation officers Dan Kling and Heath Packett began an investigation after a deer was discovered to have been shot and left in a field in a remote area of Dawes County. Investigation of the scene and surveillance of the area over a period of several days led to the identification and contact with the subjects.

During the investigation, officers seized a mule deer buck, whitetail buck, spotlight, compound bow, .22-caliber revolver, GPS unit, .22-caliber rifle, and a .270-caliber rifle. Both deer were shot with rifles during the archery season.

According to Kling, the subjects admitted to "driving the country trying to kill a big mule deer, by any means, regardless of what laws they broke."

Scott Debock pleaded guilty to hunting in closed season, hunting from roadway, hunting without permission, failure to tag deer, hunting with artificial light and four counts of accessory to game violation.

Adam Debock pleaded guilty to hunting in closed season, hunting without permission, hunting from roadway, hunting with artificial light, wanton waste, no deer permit, no habitat stamp, accessory to hunt in closed season, and accessory to hunt without permission.

Clarissa Williams-Debock pleaded guilty to hunting with artificial light and four counts of accessory to game violation. Robert Debock pleaded guilty to three counts of accessory to game violation.
