Cass County Sheriff Darby McLaren says charges are pending against 47-year-old John Chamberlin, Jr. and 23-year-old Sean Chamberlin for illegally killing deer.

Deputies and an officer with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources seized
111 deer, including an untagged deer. The officers found a badger and a raccoon that were also allegedly killed illegally.

The investigation began on December 29 after a caller alerted the Cass County Sheriff’s office about someone dumping litter along a level B road.

In the trash pile, deputies found hides from four deer, a raccoon and a badger carcass.
