From the Ohio Division of Wildlife Officers
State Wildlife Officer Nolan Johnson, assigned to Van Wert County, donated 147 pounds of venison that had been seized as evidence to the Van Wert Cooperative Ministries. This was the first time the organization received a donation from the Ohio Division of Wildlife and they were very grateful. When possible, venison seized as evidence in white-tailed deer violation cases is donated to food pantries.
