CARO -- A man caught with nine dead deer in his barn has been
sentenced to
15 days in the Tuscola County jail.
John Cooper of Vassar Township was also ordered to pay $6,500 in
fines
Wednesday. His hunting privileges were revoked through 2014.
The Saginaw News says Cooper has denied shooting the deer but still
pleaded
guilty to illegally having them. Authorities also seized 22 guns last
November.
Tuscola County authorities were having the deer carcasses tested to
determine if the animals were shot with any of the weapons.
Cooper will be allowed to leave the jail in Caro to work during the
day.
