A Sheridan County, Wyoming, man was sentenced to nine months in jail and fined $110,000 and must repay $144,000 in restitution after reaching a plea deal in a Wyoming wildlife poaching case.

The sentence is the culmination of a case against Gregg Lambdin. A search of his property in 2018 found one antelope and 113 white-tailed deer carcasses in varying stages of decomposition, according to a Wyoming Game and Fish Department press release.

Fourth Judicial District Court Judge William Edelman approved the conditions the plea agreement between the Sheridan County Attorney’s Office and Lambdin on On Oct. 17. Lambdin had initially pleaded not guilty but in August changed his plea to guilty to two misdemeanors and nine felonies for wanton destruction of big game animals.

Lambdin will serve his jail sentence in the Sheridan County Detention Center and began his incarceration immediately after the sentencing hearing.

“We do not keep records for penalties in poaching cases, but I cannot remember a case brought against a defendant that resulted in fines, restitution, and jail time of this magnitude,” said Game and Fish Sheridan Regional wildlife supervisor Craig Smith. “It is likely the largest poaching case in Wyoming history in terms of penalties against a single individual.”
