| Description: |
A fish and wildlife check stop at the
U.S. /Canadian Border in early October
2005 resulted in a search of buildings
and subsequent seizure of walleye
fillets and round goldeyes from a
residence at Lockport. Raye Porhownik
was charged with being over his walleye
and goldeye quotas. He was also charged
with selling fish without a dealer's
licence.
Evidence from the search revealed that
Porhownik had bought his fish from
William Sanderson of Selkirk, MB and
Daniel Klatt of the Winnipeg Beach, MB
area. There were no commercial trade
records of these transactions.
Sanderson pleaded guilty to failing to
issue a Commercial Trade Record in
November 2005. Klatt defaulted his
conviction for failing to issue a
Commercial Trade Record. Porhownik
recently pleaded guilty to being over
his walleye and goldeye quotas in return
for stay of proceedings on the 2
commercial sales charges.
Sanderson received a $535 fine. Klatt
also received a $535 fine plus another
$50 in default. Porhownik received
$1,500 in fines plus he forfeited all
the fish that was seized. |
