COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — 49-year-old Donald Wainwright Sr. pleaded guilty Friday to charges that include illegal wildlife trafficking and conspiracy.
Wainwright is facing 21 months in prison and a $125,000 fine for illegally shipping white-tailed deer from Ohio to his hunting preserve in Florida.

Wainwright was the owner of hunting preserves in western Ohio and in north Florida. Prosecutors say he illegally shipped deer to Florida from Ohio, and attempted to ship deer to Georgia from Ohio.
