Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agents cited John Johnson for alleged Wildlife Management Area (WMA) violations on the Ouachita WMA. Agents cited Johnson for criminal damage to state property, intentional littering, hunting deer out of season and leaving a deer stand in a hunting position.
Cutting down trees on a WMA is criminal damage to state property and carries a fine up to $10,000 and up to 10 years in jail. Johnson may also face a civil restitution charge for the replacement value of the trees.
Hunting deer out of season and leaving a deer stand in a hunting position on a WMA each brings a $100 to $350 fine and up to 60 days in jail.
Intentional littering brings a $250 fine and eight hours of community service in a litter abatement work program.
