This explains why Topicz finds his arrest so confusing. He thought that shooting the bear satisfied the requirements. “I don’t know why DEEP charged me,” Topicz stated. All of us were under jeopardy.
It came inside our house. And I don’t know why DEEP charged me for this,” he said. DEEP said that it would not discuss the matter. Questions are not exclusive to Topicz.
Republicans Stephen Harding, Henri Martin, and Eric Berthel of the Connecticut state Senate wrote to DEEP to ask for an explanation for his detention.
Has the matter been closed? The senators from the states inquired. “The matter is not being discussed by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. “Why?” they wrote.
“Is the case closed now? Why, if so? To clear up any uncertainty and improve communication with our citizens, DEEP should make a public statement on this public safety issue.
Topicz has been taking part in an expedited rehabilitation program for first-time offenders in response to the allegations. If he finishes the program, no charges will be brought.
