After eight months, two
charged with 19 counts
related to killingot moose
The discovery was as mysterious
as it was gruesome.
A pregnant moose lay slaughtered
with two of her unborn calves cut
from her body in a North Dakota
field. A necropsy of the pregnant
moose later revealed a third fetus in-
side her body.
Nearby, two more moose cows .
and two bulls also had been killed in
April 2020 in a field near Dunseith,
officials said.
“There’s eight moose that are
gone. No meat was taken and the
bulls had already dropped their
antlers,” North Dakota Game and
Fish Departmentdistrict game war—
den Jonathan Tofteland told the
Minot Daily News last year. “The
only thing they did was cut out two
of the three calves.”
Tofteland said the slayings
“dumbfounded” the wildlife agency,
the newspaper reported. Who had
killed the moose only to let them rot ‘
— and why?
The wildlife agency released fly-
ers with disturbing images of the
dead mooseand offered a $2,000 re— '
ward in May 2020.
About eight months later, Shawn
Morin Jr. and Jake Charbonneau
were charged with a combined 19
wildlife crimes.
Officials said a poaching hotline
for tipsters was “greatly beneficial”
in the investigation and rewards will
be granted.
Morin told investigators he shot
two moose and several days later
Charbonneau joined him and they
killed three more, officials said.
As they field dressed a -moose,
cutting an incision in her stomach
area, two fetuses fell out of the body
and “spooked” them and they left all
five behind, officials said.
Morin pleaded guilty to felony ex-
ploitation of wildlife, five misde-
meanors each of unlawful taking of a
big game animal and wanton waste
of big game. Charbonneau pleaded
guilty to three misdemeanors each of
unlawful taking of a big game animal
and wanton waste of big game and
one count of aiding in taking big
game.
Morin was sentenced to 120 days
in jail and ordered to pay $5,560 in
fines. He lost hunting privileges for
three years and will no longer be able
to hunt moose, elk or bighom sheep
in North Dakota.
Charbonneau was sentenced to 20
days in jail and ordered to pay $2,360
in fines.
