George orders poacher to watch Bambi once per month during year-long jail sentence (2018)
In December 2015, George sentenced David Berry Jr., a convicted deer poacher, to one year in Lawrence County jail, during which time Berry was ordered to watch the Disney film Bambi at least once per month beginning no later than December 23, 2018. The charges against Berry, and his ultimate conviction, stemmed from a Missouri Department of Conservation investigation beginning in 2015 that resulted in 230 separate charges being filed against 14 state residents in 11 counties.[7]
