ATLANTIC, Iowa -- Five men, including a Coon Rapids police officer
and two former officers from Harlan, pleaded guilty to hunting
violations.
Kent Gries of Elk Horn and four men from Harlan -- Daniel Grabill,
Dustin Hansen, Aaron Holtz, and Bradley Wendt -- entered pleas to one
count of pursuing a deer with a car and trespassing in Cass County
District Court Friday.
Court records said the men were ordered to pay fines of $165 each
plus court costs.
Holtz and Wendt are former Harlan police officers. Gries is a police
officer in Coon Rapids.
The charges stem from hunting incidents in November in Cass County.

license plates.
Hansen, Wendt and Ross Burchett, of Harlan, face additional charges
of shooting a rifle over water in Adair County.
Burchett also faces trespassing and pursuing a deer in a vehicle
charges in Cass County. His case will be heard in court on April 12.
