Drop Threat of Legal Action in City Game Case
The City Game Commission stands by its action in a case involving Gary Bennett on West Suit Street amid protests by hundreds of oils and locals. Commissioner Shaffer said an investigation found Bennett under surveillance for two years and noted a signed statement from a Corry trapper who sold Wegal furs to Bennett two years ago. A search of Bennett property uncovered illegal pelts in a weed-covered field. Bennett denies all charges except the arrest offense and claims a game officer posed as a trapper to sway him. Local sportsmen and area landowners protested trespass posts in support of the agency’s action.
