Two Men Indicted for Illegal Gator Hunting
Quote:
A federal grand jury in Baton Rouge has indicted two Plaquemine men, charging them with illegally hunting alligators.
According to a release from the U.S. Justice Department, the indictment alleges that 43-year-old Clint P. Martinez and 47-year-old Michael A. Martinez acted as paid guides on sport alligator hunts. The indictment alleges that they were involved in the illegal possession, transportation and sale of alligators.
If convicted the men would face up to five years in prison for each of nine counts. The Justice Department announced the charges Wednesday. When called for comment, Michael Martinez said he had not been notified of the indictment. There was no phone number listed for Clint Martinez.
