Sheriff charged with illegal hunting

The Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Mo. -- For the second time in a year, a northeast Missouri sheriff faces illegal deer hunting charges.

Clark County Sheriff Doug Jones was also cited last year in Iowa for poaching deer.

In the latest case, Jones was cited for three alleged deer hunting violations on Nov. 13 in nearby Scotland County during Missouri's firearms deer season. Jones was charged with attempting to shoot deer from a motor vehicle, from a public roadway and by using an artificial light.

All three charges are misdemeanors. If convicted, Jones could face up to $600 in fines . He appears in court Tuesday.

How is a criminal allowed to hold such an important role model position? I can’t imagine he will be re elected.

Don't be too sure. We had a Sherriff years back that got caught poaching deer at night from his squad car using his spotlight on the car and his service revolver. Won several more elections after that.

How would you like to be in his shoes,A sherrif facing the judge,if i got a ticket from him i would fight it,his credibility is shot,if he poaches he more than likely lies and maybe he does drugs as well.......i would bet he looses re election,wish it had been a federal offence,we dont need sherrifs like that in this state.
