Department of Natural Resources conservation officers credit a
group of neighbors with helping them nab a suspected deer poacher
accused of illegally shooting a rare albino deer in southwestern
Indiana.
Conservation officer Mike Kellner said that just
after dark on Nov. 17, neighbors on Eble and Pigeon Valley roads in
southeast Warrick County saw a man shoot an albino deer with a
shotgun after the deer had been illuminated by his pickup's
headlights.
The witnesses immediately reported the shooting,
and conservation officers headed out to the area. But by the time
officers arrived, the suspect was gone. They searched but they
couldn't find the dead deer or the suspect, later identified as
Donald Kenny II, 28, of Newburgh.
Conservation officers have
requested the Warrick County prosecutor's office charge Kenny with
Class B and C misdemeanors for shooting from a public roadway,
shooting after legal deer-hunting hours, using an artificial light
to kill a deer, illegal taking of deer and not having the required
license to shoot an antlerless deer.
