Conviction Over limit of goldeyes |
| |
| Description: |
On May 25, 2005 Selkirk Officers
received information from the public
that a male subject had caught more than
his limit of 10 goldeyes at Lockport.
This male subject would catch and keep
10 goldeyes, leave the area and return a
short time later. He allegedly repeated
this activity 3 or 4 times.
An officer attended and conducted a
compliance check of the male subject now
identified as Timothy KOSTANIUK of St.
Andrews. In Timothy KOSTANIUK's
possession were 6 goldeyes. KOSTANIUK
proceeded to catch and keep 4 more
goldeyes thereby bringing his total to
10. He stated to the officer that he
was going to continue angling but that
he would release anymore goldeyes that
he might catch.
The officer departed the area but
positioned himself so that he could
maintain surveillance of KOSTANIUK.
Within the next 8 minutes, the officer
observed KOSTANIUK catch and keep
another 5 goldeyes.
Officers approached Timothy KOSTANIUK
again; this time informing him that he
was being charged for being in
possession of more fish than permitted.
The officers asked for the location of
the goldeyes caught earlier in the day
also. Timothy KOSTANIUK led the
officers to a residence on Main Street
at Lockport. At this location another
male subject appeared with a bag
containing 10 goldeyes.
Timothy KOSTANIUK was charged with being
15 goldeyes over his limit.
Timothy KOSTANIUK pleaded not guilty and
a trial was set for October 4, 2006.
KOSTANIUK did not appear in court for
the trial therefore he was convicted ex
parte.
The specified penalty of $477 was
assessed. This was Timothy KOSTANIUK's
second conviction for possessing over
his limit of fish; the first being in 2003. |
