Holy crap! That's atrocious behavior on their part and some brave action by your buddy. Any links to the story? I'd like to follow this one. Seems too many game violations get off with not even a slap on the wrist, but since this one involves assault on a federal officer, hopefully they throw the book at these lowlifes

Assistant City Attorney, Husband Arrested for Stealing Hunting Gear

Last week my buddy and I watched a guy shoot a nice little 6x6 elk, the elk dropped about 100 yards from our blind so we just sat and watched. The guy walked up and saw "how small the elk was" and he and hs buddy talked a while then decided to leave it and go find "a bigger one". My buddy got some pics of them on his phone and then snuck out to find their truck so he could take pics of it too. I called the game and fish poacher hot line and reported them.
My buddy ran into them and they started trying to say they couldn't find the bull so it must have run off. Then they kind of threatened to kick his ass if he didn't let them go. He had had enough at that point and arrested (he's a fed agent) and held them until game and fish got there. I thought we should have just gutshot and left them next to the elk.
Game and fish impounded their truck, confiscated the elk and their guns, arrested them for "wanton waste of game", the "assault on a federal officer" my buddy pressed and a couple of other things. I heard they spent the weekend in jail posted bond and went back to Phoenix without their truck.
I can't wait to be a witness at their trial. :;:smokin
What is the assault on federal officer charge for? Was there an actually physical assault or was it just the threats? Did your buddy tell them he was a federal officer or was he acting like a concerned hunter?
Don't get me wrong these guys deserve everything they have coming. I just hate when they pile on or over charge to get a plea deal on lesser charges or end up with a not guilty verdict in court because because the charge doesn't fit the crime.
