An investigation by the Oregon State Police (OSP) Fish & Wildlife
Division at the Newport Area Command office is leading to multiple
charges for several individuals including a Tidewater-area man
previously charged with the unlawful sale of commercial/sport caught
Dungeness crab to a local café.
After the completion of a commercial fisheries investigation in
2011-2012 that led to charges for Keith Paulson, age 64, from Tidewater,
additional complaints regarding Paulson were reported. Allegations of
several crimes between August and November 2012 led to more charges by
the Lincoln County District Attorney’s Office.
On May 14, Paulson was also charged with Unlawful Sale of Sport
Caught Crab, Exceeding the Daily Limit of Sport Caught Crab, Failure to
Sell to a Licensed Wholesale Dealer, and Failure to Sell/Retain for
