North Carolina Man Charged With Shooting Deer From Limo Window
A Lincoln County, North Carolina, man has been charged in the drive-by shooting of a deer from a limousine in which he was taking his children to school.
Michael Paul Rife, 26, stopped the limo, rolled down his window and shot a white-tailed fawn Dec. 20, 2002, leaving it behind until he dropped off his daughter, authorities said. He returned later with his son to retrieve the animal. Before he got there, several witnesses reported the shooting to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department.
Rife was charged with hunting an anterless deer out of season.
In related news, a federal magistrate fined Vermilion Parish, Louisiana, Sheriff Ray LeMaire $2,100 last Friday for three duck hunting violations, but didn't suspend his hunting privileges.
LeMaire pleaded guilty to hunting over a baited field, possessing lead shot while waterfowl hunting and shooting two birds more than the six-bird limit. All of the offenses are misdemeanors. A felony conviction would have prevented LeMaire from possessing firearms and led to his removal from office. LeMaire, who's in his fifth term, has announced he'll not run for re-election this year.
