    Jail Time for Poacher

    Anyone else see this:

    DALLAS, Texas (KEYE) -- A judge in Grayson County, north of Dallas, has sentenced a man caught poaching a deer to spend weekends during deer hunting season in jail.


    Texas Parks and Wildlife says 34-year-old John Walker Drinnon of Whitesboro was convicted of poaching a 19-point white-tailed buck with a rifle in an archery-only county on private property, which is a state jail felony.

    The judge ordered Drinnon on spend every weekend of hunting season in jail for the next five years.

    Drinnon also received 5 years of probation and must pay over $18,000 in civil restitution.

    The judge also prohibited Drinnon from purchasing a hunting license while on probation.

    Could not be happier. States really need to take a hard line on poaching.

                  Ouch! He got popped hard. Serves him right though. There is no excuse for doing what he did and he knew it. How these poachers think they are gonna get away with it boggles my mind. Bet he won't do that again.

                          Guarantee you he won't do it on a weekend during hunting season for the next 5 years...

                            Somewhat creative sentencing in making the punishments hurt and fit the crime, while still allowing the fellow to make a living ... to pay off the massive restitution amount.
