Jeffrey Scott Grundhauser has been fined $15,000, given one year probation and ordered to do 100 hours of community service for transporting axis deer and mouflon rams between Maui to the Big Island of Hawaii. Federal Judge Richard L. Puglisi, who oversaw the case, stated that Grundauser had violated the Lacey Act, which is a federal law preventing hunters from poaching game from one state and selling the bounty in another. However, in recent years the Lacey Act has been used to prevent alien animals from entering another native ecosystems. Grundhauser wanted to import deer to Maui for hunting purposes.
