The $4,750 will go to the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, and Thibault was also handed a five-year hunting ban, which restricts firearm possession to his home and forbids him from being in the presence of anyone who is hunting. Court heard the incident took place Nov. 5, 2017 as part of conservation officer sting operation to catch Thibault in the act by placing a decoy deer in a field near Farrell Creek. He fled from the officers when they attempted to apprehend him. Court heard that complaints of night hunting had been received for several years along Farrell Creek Road, prompting COs to conduct surveillance of the area.
