In provincial court on Oct. 11, Kyle Charlton of the Village of Lakefield pleaded guilty to deliberately using a vehicle to injure wildlife.

“The investigation revealed that Charlton was driving when he noticed a family of geese on the road,” the MNRF stated.
“He sped up and then changed lanes to hit one of the geese.”
As a result of Charlton’s plea, Justice of the Peace Mark Donohue fined Charlton $1,000 under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act.
