Bait Boy’s Arrest Seen as Misunderstanding in Ohio
An 11 year old Oak Harbor boy faced a court summons for selling fish bait, but Wildlife Division chief Dale Haney says it was a miscommunication. He notes officials intended a parental notice, not a formal complaint, and Ottawa County Probate and Juvenile Court later dismissed the case. Senator Paul Gillmor criticized the episode as ludicrous in a free society. The boy earned four dollars and fifty cents in two weeks, with two dollars from undercover agents posing as customers.
