Late Monday afternoon, former AGF Officer Don McSwaim, who gained notoriety for "banding the hummingbirds" at Cooks Lake Education Center located in the community of Casscoe drowned Monday.
Don McSwain was found floating in Cooks Lake and has been pronounced dead.
According to the Arkansas County Sheriff Allen Cheek, McSwain was loading a boat by himself at the landing when he fell into the water.
When sheriff's deputies came to the landing, they saw McSwain's truck still running, and the boat floating in the lake. Deputies saw McSwain's coat and pulled him to shore.
There were no visible signs of trauma. His body has been sent to the crime lab for autopsy.
