I plead not Quilty, take a kid fishing

The disc jockey/newscaster pleaded not quilty on Thursday. So there will be a trial next Thursday to hear the case. I believe that there is only one pole involved with this father and son fiasco. Can't believe that this man would intentionally try to fish without a license, but that he was honestly only trying to help his son. If anyone would like to write to him, and ask questions go to www.105country.com and his name is Doug. The only thing said on the air this morning, is what I have said here. Keith

Hey Keith,

Keep us posted. If the guy only had one pole he should be able to convince the judge that he was only helping the kid. It may depend on how the law is written or how the judge interprets it.

I can’t get the link to work – get a video poker site when I try it. Could you check it for us?

http://k105country.com/ ok now try the site link, silly me typed it wrong, not that I know how to type or anything, lol. Keith

Sorry this info hadn't been posted sooner. The DJ had his day in court. The judge asked the game warden, if he first asked Doug what he was doing, before issuing a ticket. The warden replied "No", so the judge thru it out of court. He made one request of Doug though, and that was that he buy a fishing license, and to appear back in court to show proof that he had. Doug even had a lawyer there to present his case. Haven't a clue what the fine would have been, but bet that the lawyer cost a good few bucks. Keith

Id say thats justice.

Hey Keith,

Thanks for the update - sounds like a win, win, win, win situation.

The DJ found out it's a good idea and less trouble to go ahead and get a fishing license even if he's just fishing with or "helping" his kid, the judge made his point and upheld the law, the Game Warden (hopefully) learned to use some discretion in issuing tickets and the lawyer made a buck or two - probably a lot more than the fine would have been if the DJ would have just paid it!

Sounds like a very wise judge.

Here in Iowa, we are required to have a fishing license after age 16. Anyone younger than that, must be accompanied by an adult with a valid license. The pole the youth uses, also counts as one of the two poles the adult can use. I say let the kids fish! Way better than other stuff they could be doing!
