HOUSTON — A judge in Houston has ordered 18 months in state jail for a man convicted over the 2008 killing of a tame deer known as Mr. Buck.
Brandon Eugene Gregory in August pleaded guilty to taking a wildlife resource without landowner consent in an incident involving the friendly deer in a sanctuary.
The remains of Mr. Buck were located on Nov. 25, 2008, at Bear Creek Pioneers Park.
A tip led to Gregory.
Defense attorney Connie Williams sought probation for Gregory.
The deer’s skull, which was displayed in court Thursday, was found in Gregory’s freezer.
