A York County teen is facing charges after using a light at night to observe and kill two fawns, South Carolina wildlife officials said.
19-year-old Samuel Saye Williams was arrested Tuesday morning by South Carolina Department of Natural Resources agents, said PFC. Aukeem Ruff of DNR. The police found two dead fawns, Ruff said.
“The fawns were young, about two weeks old,” Ruff said. “They still had spots. When they were found, both had been shot and killed.”
A nearby resident called 911 Tuesday morning to report gunshots, Ruff said. York County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded and found a truck in the road, Ruff said.
York County deputies contacted DNR law enforcement officers after finding Williams coming out of a field where the dead fawns were found, Ruff said.
William is charged with illegal use of a light to hunt, hunting an antlerless deer by an illegal method, hunting from a public road and illegal hunting on another person’s land without consent, according to Ruff and York County jail records.
