MONTROSE, Pa. (AP) — A northeastern Pennsylvania county treasurer has been cleared of charges he used bait to hunt deer.
Luzerne County Treasurer Michael Morreale and five others were found not guilty Tuesday of hunting over bait by a district judge in Montrose.
Wildlife officers say the Game Commission received an anonymous tip Dec. 3. Two days later officials went to a private property in Forest Township where they say they found the bait.
Morreale, 75, says he and his sons own the property where it was found. He says his group did not put out the bait.
