ASPEN — Aspen police arrested a 27-year-old Snowmass man Wednesday and charged him with selling fake New Mexico elk-hunting permits, according to court documents.
Joshua Meacham is facing two counts of felony theft after a more than 10-month investigation by Aspen police. Meacham, who also manufactures marijuana patches in Aspen, faced similar charges in Arizona in 2009, according to court documents.
The Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office first began investigating Meacham in November when a woman who paid $3,625 for an elk-hunting permit on eBay contacted an officer, according to an arrest-warrant affidavit filed in Pitkin County District Court. The woman told Pitkin County sheriff’s investigator Brad Gibson she never received the permit.
Meacham is due in court in October on the theft charges.
