An Oregon man has been sentenced to eight months in prison for his role in what Oregon State Police have called the largest deer poaching case in state history.
Miguel Kennedy of Springfield was sentenced last week in Eugene after pleading guilty to identity theft, forgery, unlawfully transferring hunting tags and racketeering.
Kennedy’s pleas were related to his participation with several other Springfield residents charged in connection with the alleged illegal killing of nearly 300 deer between 2005 and 2010.
Elk, antelope and bear also were killed illegally by members of the poaching ring, according to a state police statement released after the indictments.
