(WSIL) -- Missouri Department of Conservation officers filed charges in a poaching incident.
Last month, Agent Clayton Lewis received an Operation Game Thief tip of deer poaching near Bonne Terre.
Lewis, along with help from the St. Francois County Sheriff's Office, responded and located suspects with a freshly harvested deer.
Charges were then filed for taking deer in a closed season and taking deer from a public roadway.
