Beheading buffalo on Cherokee Nation reservation earns Oklahoma man a three year deferred sentence
TAHLEQUAH, Okla. – An Oklahoma man pleaded no contest to killing and beheading a buffalo and seriously wounding a second buffalo within the Cherokee reservation and was given a three-year deferred sentence. Gunner Lee Richards, 25, of Broken Bow and a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation, entered a plea to two counts of animal cruelty and one count of grand larceny in the Cherokee Nation Criminal Court. The court found Richards guilty and also ordered him to $1,350 in fines and court costs. Tryston Hunter Needham, a Choctaw Nation citizen, was also charged along with Richards, with two counts of animal cruelty and grand larceny in 2023. However, online court records show that his charges were dropped. The owner of the buffalo herd found the female buffalo dead, and her head had been removed, the arrest warrant states. The female buffalo was carrying an almost full-term calf. The owner also discovered a second buffalo, a large adult male who had been shot, was severely wounded, and would require euthanasia, the affidavit states. Court records show Gunner made restitution to the owner. Extremely rare white buffalo calls Quapaw home Bison are native to North America and Europe and are sometimes called buffalo in casual use, but they are two different animals.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis man is set to be sentenced later this summer for stealing pre-released DVD copies of some blockbuster movies and leaking them online. 37-year-old Steven Hale pleaded guilty to criminal copyright infringement. The Department of Justice says he was working for company in Memphis that manufactured and distributed DVDs and Blu-rays.

'Spider-Man: No Way Home' was copied before the release date, put online, and was downloaded tens of millions of times, prosecutors said, resulting in tens of millions of dollars in losses by the copyright owner, prosecutors said. String of store thefts led to chase in South Memphis; two in custody Hale agreed to make full restitution and return approximately 1,160 stolen DVDs and Blu-rays. Sentencing is set for August 29.
