An Oregon man has been indicted by a grand jury on 38 charges related to the poaching of numerous animals.
On June 23, 2022, Oregon State Police said they executed a search warrant on the home of Norman Jones, based on information gained from an alleged co-conspirator who said Jones had poached several large deer using a rifle.
Upon searching the home, police said they discovered several guns, which were not legal since Jones had a prior felony conviction, and numerous wildlife parts, including sets of deer and elk skulls with antlers still attached.
On April 11, Jones was indicted by the Clackamas County grand jury on 38 counts of unlawful possession/taking big game mammal and four counts of felon in possession of a firearm.
