Indiana Conservation Officers arrested four men for numerous misdemeanor hunting violations following a poaching incident on Nov. 23 in Daviess County.

At approximately 10 p.m., officers were patrolling County Road 900 East when they heard a gunshot in the immediate area. Officers located Biak Sang, 40, and Muang Hu, 40, both of Greenwood, and Ro Hmung Lian, 34, and Biak Hu, 48, both of Indianapolis.

Officers also located a deer that was determined to have been shot from the roadway with the aid of an artificial light along with two additional illegally-taken deer in the back of a vehicle. All suspects were taken into custody.

All are preliminarily being charged with:
