Ted Nugent fined and sentenced to 2yrs probation


Recently in the news for urging NRA members "to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November," Ted Nugent has agreed to pay a $10,000 fine and accept two years probation for illegally killing an Alaskan black bear during the filming of an episode for his hunting reality show. He also has a film a PSA about hunting.

"This PSA will discuss the importance of a hunter's responsibility in knowing the rules and regulations of the hunting activities that they engage in, which is subject to the review and final approval, prior to any broadcast, by a representative of the United States Attorney's Office in the District of Alaska," the agreement says. 

Nugent, who signed the document April 14, also agreed to pay the state $600 for the bear that was taken illegally, according to the agreement. He would still need to enter the plea in court and have the plea be approved by a judge.

  1. Love me some Ted; however I think he has went off the deep end... I"m thinking jail time and medication would be more appropriate.
