FOX13 Report On Jamie L. Stokes, Rescuer

Reprinted from FOX13 News

Good Samaritan, UHP troopers rescue woman after car crashes into river
BY JEFF MCADAM, UPDATED AT 10:23PM, NOVEMBER 23, 2015

LOGAN, Utah -- A woman pulled from an icy Logan river has a Good Samaritan, emergency rescue workers, and maybe a little help from above to thank for her recovery Monday night.

Jamie Stokes was traveling down I-89 in the Logan Canyon, around 10 a.m. when the car in front of her suddenly swerved off the road, and into a river.

"She just spinned, and slowly tipped upside down into the water," said Stokes, who helps out on the ambulance at nearby Bear Lake.

Stokes jumped out of her car and toward the icy river, despite being seven months pregnant.

"Her wheels were still spinning," Stokes said. "I think she still had her foot on the gas."

Stokes ran toward the screams coming from the car, and as she got closer, she noticed the driver sitting upside down, with her head bent upward, just above the water.

"She was strapped in with her own seatbelt," Stokes points out. "She's holding her head up, and I know the second she goes unconscious she won't be doing that. I tried to get the doors open."

As hard as she tried, she could get the doors open. So, she tried to call for help, but in the Logan Canyon, reception isn't available. After waiting five minutes on the road for help, a car suddenly passed by. Fortunately for Stokes and the trapped driver, she learned that accident crews were just a couple miles further down the canyon. They had responded to two previous crashes earlier in the day.

"I got on top of the vehicle and tried to pry open the door and she quit screaming," said Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Russell Handley.

With the help of two fire fighters, Handley broke out the back window, crawled in and cut the seatbelt. The rescue workers then pulled the driver to safety.

"When we talked to her later at the hospital, she said she was tired of trying to hold her head up to the point where she said she didn't know if she could do it any longer," Handley points out.

The driver remained in Logan Regional Hospital Monday afternoon recovering from hypothermia. But Stokes knows the outcome could have been much worse

"Fortunately for her, there was an accident just right down the street," Stokes said. "It would have taken the firetruck at least another 20 minutes to get up here if they weren't already up here."

Poaching Elk Earns Tremonton Family Jail Time & Fine

Bobbie Coray, Reporter
Rich Civic Times

I was sitting in District Court reporting on another matter when a nice looking family from Tremonton, Utah, mother, father, grandfather and grandson were all sentenced to a year in the Rich County Jail.

District Judge Tom Wilmore, was taking no excuses.  The mother tearfully said that they were hunting to fill their freezer, but Wilmore parried that by asking "then why did you take the cape and antlers and a little of the elk meat leaving most of it behind?"

The grandfather admitted that the elk had been a trophy elk and they had been excited and went into an area not covered by their license to hunt.  The grandson, who is 18, said his parents and grandfather had told him to shoot the elk because he'd never get a chance at a trophy like that.  Wilmore said, "You are an adult now and are responsible for your actions."

Wilmore was stern in his sentencing, he suspended the year sentence to four days, and the father and son were taken into custody by the sheriff.  The mother was to report to the Cache County jail and the grandfather was to report the next week.  Then they were required to pay $8,000 for the elk and additional fines of $750 each.  They have to do 50 hours each of community service and will be on parole for the rest of the year.  DWR will probably take away their ability to ever hunt again.

Poaching is serious.  So is the punishment.
