LYNN, Ind. — Austin M. Spain bagged an antlered deer that could have gone down in the record books.

Instead, he faces a criminal record and being booked into jail.

Spain, 21, Lynn, illegally shot what a state conservation officer and a Boone and Crockett Club official call “the deer of a lifetime.”

Spain faces charges including illegal taking and possession of deer, a class C misdemeanor, and illegal tagging, also a class C misdemeanor.
