A joint investigation with the Maryland State Police Gun Enforcement Unit resulted in the arrest of an Allegany County man on poaching charges, with weapons charges pending. Another man was charged with seven violations in the same case.
Calvin Jacob Kniseley, 22, and Zachary Eugene Siebert, 20, received citations for two counts each of hunting deer at night, hunting on private land without written permission and hunting within a safety zone. Each man received a single citation for failing to make a reasonable effort to recover a dead or wounded deer.
Keith Alan Broadwater, 38, killed a five-point buck in Washington County in November and an eight-point buck in Allegany County in December, both with a muzzleloader. Records show he had not purchased a Bonus Antlered Stamp.
But officers found that he was prohibited from possessing firearms and muzzleloaders as the result of a drug conviction in Allegany County.
Broadwater’s 0.50-calber muzzleloader was seized.
If found guilty of exceeding the bag limit, Broadwater could be fined up to $500.
