Security guard pays $1,735 for killing black bearBUTTE, Mont. (AP) — A security guard at the ultra-exclusive Yellowstone Club has paid $1,735 in restitution and fines for illegally killing a black bear while trying to haze the animal away from a paintball course. The Montana Standard reports Shane Barstad paid $1,000 in restitution and a $735 fine in Justice Court in Madison County this week. Justice of the Peace Mary Ann O'Malley says Barstad paid the penalties for the misdemeanor citation for killing a large animal out of season. Barstad told state Fish, Wildlife and Parks officers that he killed the bear on Aug. 11 when he accidentally used a live round instead of a rubber bullet while trying to haze the bear. The bear had two cubs with it. FWP officials say one was captured and the other likely died. ___ Information from: The Montana Standard, http://www.mtstandard.com |
