WILMINGTON A man accused of injuring a state wildlife officer pled not guilty in Clinton County Common Pleas Court on Friday.
Brian Liming, 44, of Jamestown was arraigned on charges of alleged assault, tampering with evidence, hunting without a deer permit, and hunting without a license.
Common Pleas Judge John “Tim” Rudduck told Liming that, while he was out on bond, Liming is to abstain from alcohol and drugs of abuse. Liming must also remain on good behavior while out.
Liming is one of three subjects charged in relation to the shooting of Wildlife Investigator Kevin Behr of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources in December. The other two are Bryan Achtermann, 36, of Midland, who faces charge of no hunting license or deer permit; and Thomas Davis, 35, of Jamestown, who was charged with aiding an offender.
