Six individuals have yet to enter pleas of the original 10 charged in the Sustainable Resource Development sting Operation Buckeye, after guilty pleas were entered via CCTV to Wildlife Act charges in St. Paul Provincial Court on Thursday.
Appearing from custody in Regina, Jamie Lee Tootoosis received $8,000 in fines from Operation Buckeye charges. He received $6,000 in fines for trafficking wildlife, $1,000 for hunting for trafficking purposes and $1,000 for hunting at night.
Tootoosis received a hunting licence suspension for three years.
Tootoosis also plead guilty to a Wildlife Act charge, which was not part of Operation Buckeye, for hunting on land without the consent of the owner. The presiding judge fined Tootoosis $172 and suspended his hunting licence for a year.
One man charged in Buckeye plead guilty to unlawful trafficking and received $12,100 in fines in September. Another plead guilty to acting as a guide without a licence and received a $500 fine in July. The Crown dropped charges against a fourth individual.
