JACKSON, Miss. — At least four people were arrested following an 11-month investigation that determined nearly 100 :doah: wild  :Turkey: had been poached, according to wildlife officials in Mississippi.

 :thumbs:
The group was believed to have trespassed on 15 properties in Claiborne, Copiah, Franklin, Jefferson, and Lincoln counties, according to a news release from the state Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks.

About 280 wildlife violations were issued to 14 individuals, the agency said.

 :popcorn: ...
Of the four people arrested and named in the news release, Kenneth Ray Britt, 39, had been charged with the most violations _ 142.  :doah: It was unclear whether he had an attorney who could comment on his behalf. :confused:

The investigation determined the illegal hunt during the 2019 season wasn’t constrained to Mississippi. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was probing the illegal out-of-state hunts, the release stated. :tut:
