NC Man Banned From Hunting Worldwide In Plea Deal

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina man who bagged a deer and a bobcat in Kentucky without getting the proper permits has found himself banned from hunting anywhere in the world for two years.

Rodney Poteat of was sentenced in federal court in Kentucky last week after pleading guilty to charges of killing the deer and bobcat and transporting them to his home in Salisbury, N.C., in the western part of the state. He didn't get a permit required of non-residents or report the kills.

The plea deal cost him $5,350 and two years' probation, during which "the defendant shall be prohibited from hunting or accompanying anyone hunting anywhere in the world," reads the judge's order, which was first reported by The Salisbury Post.

So, the judge thinks his jurisdiction encompasses the ENTIRE WORLD? What an ass. No, excuse me.....what an ARROGANT, dictatorial, imperialistic ass. What's that judge gonna do if he moves to Somalia and goes elephant hunting?
