A not guilty plea has been entered on behalf of a Mt. Carmel man facing various felony and misdemeanor charges tied to a Department of Natural Resources poaching investigation.
Richard Stringfellow was in Wabash County Circuit Court Monday where he waived his right to arraignment and his attorney Brady Waldroup, entered the not guilty plea on his behalf. A pre-trial conference in the case was set for September 27th. Stringfellow is free on a $3,500 cash bond after being arrested in June.
At the time of the arrests in June, DNR officials issued a press release saying the investigation into the alleged poaching began in January as evidence was uncovered with the aid of search warrants. In addition to Stringfellow, three juveniles were charged by authorities.
