Agents Cite Pineville Man for Illegally Possessing Deer
Baton Rouge, - Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agents cited a subject for an alleged deer violation in Rapides Parish on April 26.
Agents cited Jiang Hua Zheng, 44, of Pineville, for possession of an illegally taken deer.
Agents were notified about Zheng cleaning a deer behind the China Queen restaurant off of Cottingham Expressway in Pineville on April 21. Agents arrived on the scene and found Zheng in possession of several containers of deer meat. Agents also found a deer hide and remaining deer parts in a box near a dumpster.
After visually inspecting the hide, agents determined the deer was hit by a vehicle. Agents informed Zheng that it is illegal to possess a deer during the closed hunting season unless proper authorities have been notified.
After investigating this further, agents determined that Zheng did not contact LDWF of his intentions of possessing the deer nor did he contact Pineville Police.
Agents returned to the restaurant on April 26 and issued Zheng his citation.
Possession of an illegally taken deer brings a $400 to $950 fine and up to 120 days in jail.
Agents participating in this case are Lt. Derek Ware, Corporal Ryan Durand, Corporal Dustin Nash, and Senior Agent Callie Pitre.
