CHEYENNE — The photos showed mangled and bloody antelope carcasses, a man giving a thumbs-up next to the blood-splattered grille of a pickup truck, and “HA HA!!!” written over the image of a severed antelope head.
“We sped up. Most of the herd got out of the way,” someone wrote in a posting on an off-roading Internet discussion board that included the grisly photos.
Now, authorities say they have arrested a 23-year-old gas field worker from Rock Springs after tracing the license plate of the truck in the photo.
The gas field worker, Jonathan Hefner, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to two counts of wanton destruction of big game, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a $10,000 fine for each count.
