Killed (slaughtered) 113 deer...Wyoming has its share of Wackos too....
from today's Sheridan Press....
SHERIDAN ? A 62-year-old man turned himself into the Sheridan County Sheriff?s Office Tuesday for 11 counts of poaching. He made an initial appearance in Sheridan County Circuit Court Tuesday.
Gregg Lambdin faces 11 counts of wanton destruction of trophy or big game animals in Sheridan County after allegedly killing deer in Sheridan County between July 2016 and November 2018. Wanton destruction is ruthless or needless killing of wildlife.
The first two charges, from July 2016 to November 2017 and December 2017 to March 2018, are high misdemeanors, which each carry punishment of one year imprisonment and a $10,000 fine. Each additional charge within a 10-year time period results in a felony offense. The other nine charges Lambdin faces are felony offenses, which each carry a punishment of two years imprisonment and $5,000 to $10,000 in fines.
Lambdin, in total, faces up to 20 years in prison and fines up to $110,000.
Sheridan-based Wyoming Game and Fish Department wardens learned from Sheridan County residents on Nov. 20, 2018, that they had seen their neighbor, Lambdin, beating a deer on his property. The residents continued to observe Lambdin and saw him dragging several bloated carcasses of white-tailed deer around his property with a lawn mower.
Another hunter on land adjacent to Lambdin?s property noticed several deer carcasses in the thickets when hunting in 2017.
After in-depth investigation of the man and his property, a WGFD investigator observed and video taped Lambdin killing a deer and leaving the carcass on his property.
In all, 113 deer and one antelope were killed illegally, with one deer killed legally with a deer license on his property when a friend came to hunt with him. He said that he killed fawns, does and bucks like others kill prairie dogs, but that ?unfortunately the law did not see it that way,? court documents said.
Lambdin was released Tuesday after Norris Alan Carlson paid the $10,000 cash-only bond. Lambdin is not allowed to have contact with neighbors or anyone listed in the case information. A preliminary hearing has not yet been set.
