I do not know if this is true but if so this is a real problem for someone.

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.
Chaser Pulls Gun on Farmers?

This site is claiming to have received an exclusive statement from Roberts County Sheriff Dana Miller (see link in story) that it did happen, but I'm not finding independent verification from an actual local media entity either. That having been said, I'm not arguing that the source of this story isn't reputable, just seems to be an independent journalistic story, so judge for yourself: Police searching for “storm chaser” who pulled gun on farmers
You would think it makes the evening news. I do think it's real. FWIW, The story (also linked in the Bear Cage) lists some details in the statement that would be easy to verify(for those who want to), including witness names, locale, an actual license plate number and make/model(the story says a white Chevy Blazer; not a Chevy Cruze). A basic license plate search matches (albeit non-official). If it is false can you imagine the potential legal headache for falsifying a report from law-enforcement and falsely indicating the involvement of a private citizen?

Justin Hoyt just said on FB that it was him and he only drew his gun after he saw the rancher had his out. He says there were not any signs but he will be receiving a trespass citation

Hi everyone, I reported on the story from the start. So, I started from the source and worked my way up. I'm now reaching out to the ranch.
Police searching for “storm chaser” who pulled gun on farmers - it's been a very long few days.

It's real. However it's not national news until, shots fired. Thanks Jamie for the post.
We had a rancher approach us with a rifle once, several years ago, but it was just over his lap. Not aiming. We listened to his directions off his ranch and left. He was in the right.
Chaser pulling a gun is unacceptable. We didn't and wouldn't. Simply not that type of situation.
