Felony animal cruelty indictment in Sweetwater County, WY for the high-profile case of running over a young wolf with a snowmobile, taping its mouth shut, and parading it injured through a Daniel, WY bar before killing it. Trial tentatively set for March 9, 2026 pending court ruling on motion to dismiss filed Dec 2025.
The case became a flashpoint in 2024 nationwide coverage of Wyoming wildlife laws after photos circulated. Initial citation was a $250 wildlife-violation; subsequent grand jury indictment elevated it to felony torture.
