The “Fishing Lure” Theft

A local man from Wilson, Oklahoma has been identified as Jacob Smith, 24 years old, also know as Jake Smith, by Oklahoma Department of Wildlife for stealing fishing lures from young children at Lake Murray State Park in Ardmore, OK. The parents of the children are only asking for their child’s items back before pursuing legal action for the stolen property. The chief of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife commenter stating: “Sometimes it’s tough when you really like to fish, but stealing lures from children is a little extreme. However, we do have footage from hikers of the man taking the items, so we are willing to prosecute.” The parents of the children are positive, one parent that wished to stay anonymous claimed: “It’s really a shame to take things from kids, but I am using this as a lesson to my boys to steer clear of strangers and to keep their eyes on their property.”
