Troy Lee Gentry, of the country singing duo Montgomery Gentry, has been accused of killing a tame black bear that federal officials say he tagged as killed in the wild. Gentry, 39, of Franklin, Tenn., and Lee Marvin Greenly, 46, of Sandstone, appeared Tuesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Raymond Erickson in connection with a sealed indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Minneapolis.

Authorities allege that Gentry purchased the bear from Greenly, a wildlife photographer and hunting guide, then killed it with a bow and arrow in an enclosed pen on Greenly's property in October 2004. The government alleges that Gentry and Greenly tagged the bear with a Minnesota hunting license and registered the animal with the state Department of Natural Resources as a wild kill.

Gentry allegedly paid about $4,650 for the bear, named Cubby. The bear's death was videotaped, and the tape later edited so Gentry appeared to shoot the animal in a "fair chase" hunting situation, the government alleges. If convicted, both Gentry and Greenly face a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison and a $20,000 fine.

>>>Typical fat chicken-hawk. "I'll pick up the phone when my government calls"? Why wait when they need you NOW? Or haven't you heard about kids on their third tours and grandmothers getting called from the "In-active Ready Reserve"? What's the matter? You only good at intimidating hookers, picking fights while armed with a club and shooting caged animals?
Typical republican. <<<<

[Kingshakabobo]

20. Isn't Troy the other chicken-hawk in the video?............

.......the one trying to kill some kid for selling dope? The one intimidating the hooker?

[LiviaOlivia]

25. The judge didn't have a problem

Just because those assholes can't make a decent video do you think they should try again? Fresh tame bear?

[patrice]

6. Sad, sad, sad . . .

How can people be so screwed up? For what? Publicity? Machismo? What? I REALLY want to know.

Why aren't Gentry and Greenly, and anyone else like this, prevented by shear shame at even the thought of doing such a thing?

I'm pretty good at understanding people, but I CAN'T!! understand this kind of behavior. What planet am I living on . . . .

[StClone]
