NABS Executive Director David Paulides has continued to try to develop credible informaton on the Oregon License Suspension issue. People continue to claim that their driving privileges are being suspended when they report a bigfoot sighting to a police officer or sheriff. Paulides wrote an email to Sheriff Gil Gilbertson (Picture on the right) of the Josephine County Sheriff’s Department in oregon. He requested information about the practice and inquired if it was true. The response from Sheriff Gilbertson is below.

If you have been a victim of an unlawful license suspension we encourage you to contact Sheriff Gilbertson, give him the name of the person whose license was suspended and allow him to investigate the matter. You don’t need to identify yourself, just the name of the individual that is the victim of this practice. As of today, nobody has come forward with a name. If you wish to be completely anonymous, send an email to NABS with the specifics on the individual and NABS will act as the intermediary. Here is Sheriff Gilbertson’s response and contact information;

David,
I’m surprised at your claims that individual’s driver licenses are at risk for reporting a BigFoot. If anyone from this County has such a claim please refer them to me so that I can personally look into their claim.
Secondly, I would be thrilled to find a BigFoot living within my County.

Regards,
Gil
