HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) - A George County man who pleaded guilty
to killing a Louisiana black bear told a federal judge he shot the
bear in self-defense.
Forty-six-year-old Darryl Eubanks pleaded guilty Wednesday in
U.S. District Court to killing and transporting the black bear, an
endangered species.
Assistant U. S. Attorney David Fulcher said Eubanks shot the
bear twice while he was hunting deer with his dogs between December
24, 2007, and January 18, 2008.
Fulcher says Eubanks loaded the bear on a trailer to dump the
corpse.
Eubanks was arrested June 3 by officials with the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service.
