Southwest Access Yes Coordinator Andy Countryman,
contacted Timothy Haws while he was elk hunting
with his resident general elk license on the Red
Dugway Road in Uinta County. Mr. Haws stated he
lived in Lyman, Wyoming. However, during Countryman?s
contact with Mr. Haws, several concerns led him
to investigate further into his Mr. Haws? residency
status.
?Mr. Haws had been residing in Washington, Utah
with his wife and at least one child while making false
statements to obtain Wyoming resident hunting and
fishing licenses from 2011- 2015,? Countryman said.
?Twenty false statement violations were detected. Utah
and Florida both verified Mr. Haws? purchasing resident
hunting and fishing licenses in their states during
those years also.?
?The case was finalized on December 8th, 2016,?
Countryman said. ?Haws pled guilty to five counts of
false swearing to obtain resident Wyoming hunting/
fishing licenses from the years 2011-2015. The Uinta
County court sentenced Haws to pay $10,880 in fines
and restitution and he will have to serve five consecutive
days in the Uinta County Detention Center. Also,
he will have all Game and Fish license privileges suspended
for 10 years and will be entered into the Wildlife
Violator Compact agreement of at least 44 states.?
