Well I was looking around online to see if they updated the story on that deer massacre and Here it is. (the title is like It felt good to read that they cought it the story is horrific and tragic just Im soooo relieved to hear they cought them lousy sacks of.....)
WAUPACA, Wis. - Three Weyauwega men accused of corralling and running over deer with snowmobiles have been arrested in what a state official described Thursday as an unprecedented thrill killing.
"There could be more arrests. We feel we have the main players at this point," Waupaca County Sheriff Brad Hardel said.
Nicholas Hermes, 22, was charged Thursday with five felony counts of being a party to mistreatment of animals. Brothers Robby Kuenzi, 23, and Rory Kuenzi, 24, have been arrested but not yet formally charged because the paperwork isn't done, Hardel said. The brothers could be charged Friday, he said.
Four deer were found dead Saturday near a snowmobile trail about five miles south of Waupaca where a herd of around 40 deer were known to gather. A fifth deer was severely injured and euthanized, authorities said.
One deer had its stomach ripped open by a snowmobile that stopped on top of it and then quickly took off, said Ted Dremel, a state Department of Natural Resources warden. Another deer had been tied to a tree, where it wrapped itself around and choked to death.
The killings outraged snowmobilers, hunters and others, and a reward fund grew to more than $10,000 before the arrests were announced Thursday. Investigators received numerous tips that helped break the case, but no reward money has been dispensed yet, Hardel said.
Asked what was the most important tip, the sheriff declined comment.
One tip led investigators to Hermes, who worked at a dairy business. He told them he accidentally hit a deer Friday night while snowmobiling with his girlfriend and the Kuenzi brothers, according to a criminal complaint.
Hermes then saw the brothers chasing and running over deer with their snowmobiles, he told investigators. Rory Kuenzi dragged one deer behind his snowmobile and then tied it to a tree near a road, he said.
Hermes told investigators he tried to get the brothers to stop hitting deer, and he hit one or two only accidentally.
