A former Sioux Lookout man has been fined $800 for lying to a conservation officer and $400 for having a loaded firearm in a vehicle.
Conrad J. Wesley, 37, of Winnipeg, Man., pleaded guilty under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. The Crown seized the rifle, which will be returned to Wesley once he pays the fine.
On Oct. 29, 2006, Ministry of Natural Resources conservation officers from Sioux Lookout District checked Wesley as he was driving on Highway 516 north of Sioux Lookout.
