Four Vernon County residents were arraigned before Judge Neal Quitno on a total of 14 different violations of the Wildlife Code of Missouri during court proceedings held in the associate circuit court on Monday.

Kaleb W. Triplett, 34, of Deerfield, Mo. was arraigned on seven class A misdemeanor counts of pursuing/taking/killed/po-sessed or disposed of wildlife illegally and two class A misdemeanor counts of fraudulently securing a certificate license or privilege from this state.

Caleb Lee Martin, 22, of Nevada, Mo. was arraigned on three class misdemeanor charges of pursuing/taking/killed/po-ssessed or disposed of wildlife illegally and one class A misdemeanor count of fraudulently securing a certificate license or privilege from this state.

Devin Dilly, 22, of Deerfield, Mo. and Robbin J. Hamilton, 42, of Nevada were both arraigned on a single count of pursuing/taking/killed/po-ssessed or disposed of wildlife illegally.

Hamilton pleaded guilty to her charge and the court fined her $250 plus costs.

The other three defendants pleaded not guilty and needed time to obtain a lawyer, so the court scheduled a pretrial hearing for all three men on March 29.

They are lucky. Back in the old west, they shot poachers.

They had a much better concept of poaching then as well though Sam. Some of this is technicalities that the folks just didn't understand. Like leasing land and getting a tag for it but living in town. If the land is there why can't the state issue a tag for it? If only one tag is issued for the land how was the state defrauded?

Yea probably did Sam. They also did it for murder, rape, and theft....

I was just kidding. USS_Missouri, it's all about the money. Read Larry Dablemonts columns.

Response by Lynn Wade:
Money collected from wildlife code fines goes to the county in which they are charged, not the MDC.
