Pennsylvania Game News - June 2012 - 28

still warm, it was evident that the doe had still been nursing fawns. I began bagging what I could, along with the deer antlers by the entrance way and loaded it all up in my vehicle. I went back up to tell Sheila that we would be leaving and what I was taking with me. I don’t think she was pleased to learn what was left for her to clean up. I also advised her that she, and her juvenile son, could be facing criminal and game law charges. I thanked Officer Wilson for his assistance and then headed over to Athens Township to meet Officers Horton and Watkins, who were just finishing up with the arraignment of Bucky Sleaze. Apparently Judge Shaw was less than impressed with Bucky’s actions, especially his assault of two police officers. Judge Shaw set bail at $100,000 cash bond. Before Bucky was taken to the Bradford County Correctional Facility in Burlington, I had a chance to talk to him. I entered a small holding room at the magistrate’s office where Bucky sat on a chair, handcuffed and his legs shackled. All he had on was a pair of old tattered jeans covered with blood; no shirt, no socks, no shoes. When he saw me enter the room he glared at me with a cold stare. I identified myself and asked if he wanted to say anything to me. He kind of grinned and chuckled to himself. He seemed a bit surprised to see a WCO who he had never dealt with before. I asked him where all the antlers and nice deer mounts came from and he said they were all killed in New York. It was pretty obvious he wasn’t going to say anything incriminating, so I left. The Game Commission’s Northeast Region Office was closed, so I wasn’t able to gather any records we might have had on Bucky. Having

been a regional supervisor prior to transferring to Bradford County, I vaguely recalled a few of our WCOs having run-ins with a guy by the name of Sleaze. The next morning I discovered that Bucky Sleaze, who was 30 at the time, killed a Canada goose on a town park pond in Sayre in 1989, when he was 13, and that he also had been charged in 1992, 1994, two times in 1995, 2000, 2001, three charges in 2004, and now my case in 2006. He also has a track record in New York. As a result of his actions on this particular night, Bucky was charged with multiple counts of simple assault, aggravated assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, corruption of minors, endangering the welfare of children, defiant trespass, loaded firearms in vehicles, unlawful use of lights, and unlawful taking and possession of game and wildlife. Bucky spent four weeks in the county lockup until his preliminary hearing. His attorney convinced the judge to lower the bail, so Bucky could be released. In the meantime, I charged Sheila with loaded firearms in a vehicle, unlawful use of lights, unlawful taking and possession of game or wildlife. She entered a guilty plea and Judge Shaw assessed a penalty of $1,219. Sheila’s son Jack was charged with one single count of unlawful taking and possession of game or wildlife. A juvenile hearing was held and Jack was assessed a $350 fine and sent to a juvenile group home in western Bradford County for an undisclosed period of time. Jack showed no remorse, which kind of sent a chill down my spine. It took almost a year to settle Bucky’s case as it proceeded slowly and with a lot of continuances. Bucky did end up spending a few more months in jail but was then released on probation. In 2010, when the Legislature was working on a new package of wildlife laws to help curb poaching, which would later be called Act 54, the Game Commission was asked how many people could potentially be affected by the new legislation
