Six Ohio state wildlife
officials have been suspended from their jobs
with pay after they were indicted on felony charges that resulted from their not pursuing charges against a North Carolina wildlife officer who reportedly used an Ohio address to avoid paying out-of-state licensing fees. Suspended after the Brown County indictments were Wildlife Chief David Graham, Assistant Chief Randy Miller, Human Resources Administrator Michele Ward-Tackett, Law Enforcement Administrator James Lehman, District 5 Manager Todd Haines and Wildlife Officer Allan Wright. All six will remain on leave until the cases against them are resolved.
