Endangered Bats
KENTUCKY....
Thirty-one year old Lonnie Skaggs of Sandy Hook, Ky. was sentenced Thursday to eight months in federal prison and one year supervised release while 20 year old Kaleb Dee Morgan Carpenter of Olive Hill, Ky. received three years probation. Each pleaded guilty to a charge of killing an endangered species, admitting that, in December 2009, they used flashlights, rocks and their feet to kill endangered Indiana bats in Laurel Cave at Carter Cave State Park. Prosecutors say combined they killed 23, but Skaggs admitted he killed an additional 82.
