Bratt Man Gets 3 Years In Prison On Hunting, Weapons Charges

October 22, 2012

A Bratt man has been sentenced to state prison on hunting and weapons charges.

Stanley Haynie, age 52 of York Road, was sentenced to a three year minimum mandatory in prison for possession of a weapon or ammunition by a convicted felon and time served for three counts of taking or possessing deer with a gun during archery season and one count of over bag limit of deer.

In mid-November 2011, Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission officers received information that Stanley Haynie and his brother, Marvin Haynie, had used a firearm to kill a deer outside of permitting hunting seasons.

Witnesses told officers that the Haynie brothers had gone hunting and several shots were heard. When questioned, the two brothers admitted to shooting three deer — a doe and two yearlings — with a firearm, according to the FWC.

FWC officers reported finding the remains of the deer behind a residence on York Road, off North Pine Barren Road just east of Northview High School. FWC officers also seized a 12-gauge shotgun and a .30-06 rifle from the home.

Stanley Haynie was a registered sex offender previously convicted of lewd and lascivious exhibition and conduct with a victim under 16, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Marvin Haynie was convicted in December 2011 of five counts of failure to comply with FWC rules and sentenced to 10 days in the county jail.

    still trying to figure out why a sex offender was allowed to live next door to a school for the last 12 years since his convictions

    Kathy,

    Are you REALLY harboring that much anger towards an inanimate object? The blame lays with Mr Haynie, not the gun.

    There is a lot of deer poaching in this area. People need to obey the hunting laws. they are there for a reason.

    Oh yeah, GUNS are good, see how great they are. Every one should have one or two or 4 or 5.
