yram man fined for allegedly dumping fish killed in tournament
Associated Press

JACKSON, Miss. - A Byram man has been charged with violating waste disposal laws after authorities discovered a large pile of dead fish dumped not far from the site of a bow fishing tournament, officials said Wednesday.

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks said Matthew Martin, 29, was formally charged with the offense after its officers learned the fish had been dumped after the tournament on Lake Mary in Wilkinson County.

The agency said Martin was ordered to pay a $500 fine for illegally dumping the fish and $250 in restitution to the landowner for dirt work to bury the remains.

The fish, consisting of more than 1,000 non-game fish, including gar, carp, buffalo and drum, was found under the Buffalo Bridge on U.S. 61, the department said.

Gary Crum, a conservation officer with MDWFP, Martin was identified by a tournament participant who had seen a weekly newspaper article about the dead fish.

Crum said Martin, who was reportedly paid $175 to dispose of the fish, told officials that motorists were honking their horns at him, angered by the amount of slime blowing out from the bed of his truck. According to Martin's statement, he then decided to dump the fish over the bridge.
