Utah hunting guide faces felony for allegedly baiting bear killed by Donald Trump Jr.
Fox News
Utah prosecutors charged a hunting guide who helped Donald Trump Jr. shoot and kill a bear in May 2018 with a felony offense of baiting protected wildlife.
The Salt Lake Tribune reported that Lemon could face five years in prison if convicted even though he was not the one to pull the trigger. A recent filing does not name Trump Jr., though the Utah Department of Natural Resources confirmed to the newspaper that the now 44-year-old Trump was the "client" listed in the criminal complaint against Lemon.
Without referring to Trump Jr. by name, Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings told the Tribune that the hunter involved in this incident "was actually a victim and a now a possible witness in a fraudulent scheme to lead the hunter to believe it was actually a legitimate Wild West hunting situation."
