NEW IBERIA, LA — Elie P. Dupre, 59, and his 15-year-old son both were cited for killing a bear near Lydia in late 2015. The citation can bring up to
120 days in jail and a $950 fine, plus up to $10,000 in civil restitution for the bear’s value.
Agents arrested Dupre on Dec. 27, 2015, in a separate night hunting case, and confiscated three firearms.
After further investigation, agents learned that Dupre’s son was with him when the black bear was shot.
