Default Baiting ticket?

An acquaintence of mine told me the other day about this ticket. He carried a friend of his to south Alabama to a hunting lease he had. He walked his friend to the food plot he was to hunt, and along the way he was eating some pecans he had in his pocket. In cracking and eating the pecans there were some small pieces in the hulls that he did not dig out and there were 2 that had worm holes in them, that along with another one he accidently dropped were discarded on the road to the stand, but some of the waste was in sight of the stand. A game warden went in and after he saw the pecan waste charged the guy in the stand with baiting deer, a fine of about $450. I told him I would have taken my chances with the judge, but he said he went ahead and paid the ticket for his friend as it was he that dropped the pecan waste. His friend got mad at him, as he had never had a ticket of any kind, and he thinks it has ruined their friendship.
