    Guntersville Anglers Busted For Cheating 5/8/14

    Read where allegedly 2 anglers were arrested when caught cheating in a bass tournament last Thursday night. Some of us wanna know what charges they're facing and if they're considered felonies?

    I read the story on Wired2fish.com and these guys are business owners. $6000 bail was set and I'm going to guess they get off with just a slap on the wrist. They will have to endure the label of being a cheater around the area they live.
    I hope someone follows up on this because I would like to know the outcome.

    Actually one article from a local news outlet stated they allegedly posted out for 5K and are awaiting June 18 trial for a misdemeanor charge....but they've also been banned from fishing tournaments....By WHO?? ....your guess is as good as mine.

    I'll be keeping an eye out for results.

    Found Guilty

    Sep 15, 2014:

    Marshall County, AL judge found both men guilty & ordered them to jail for the next 30 days....1 yr suspended jail time....2 yrs probation....400 hrs community service....$1000 fine plus court cost....both may be released posting $1000 bond pending appeal but in doing so they also have to give up their hunting & fishing licenses.

    Costly mistake for both of them.

    Not a mistake.........a CLEAR and calculated deception on their part. Other anglers should SUE the living **** out of them in civil court.......Loss wages......WHATEVER they can come up with.

    I agree with fines and losing their fishing and hunting privileges. Jail time seems excessive IMO.
