JUNEAU — The host of a cable TV hunting show has pleaded guilty as part of an investigation into poaching on a remote national preserve in Alaska.
The terms of a plea deal signed by Clark W. Dixon on Monday call for an 18-month prison sentence, a $75,000 fine and forfeiture of trophies and weapons that the U.S. attorney’s office says were used in the illegal taking of game.
The charges involve activities between 2008 and 2013 at Noatak National Preserve.
Sentencing was set for February. Dixon is from Mississippi.
The U.S. Attorney’s office, in a release, said four others charged in the case have pleaded guilty. Dixon is the only one facing a prison sentence.
After the charges were announced in September, the Sportsman Channel said it had suspended Dixon’s show, “The Syndicate.”
