Jeremy Hill, 33, Bonners Ferry, is facing
federal charges for allegedly killing an
endangered grizzly bear on his property May 8.
The charge was brought today by U.S. Attorney
Wendy Olson after an investigation by the
Department of the Interior and the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service.
The penalty for killing an animal listed as
threatened under the endangered species act is
up to one year in prison and a fine of up to
$50,000.
Attempts to contact Jeremy prior to publication
were unsuccessful, but his remarkably astute
young daughter carefully took down a message. |
