The two didn't believe the officers when they were informed that they were wildlife officers and bragged and their illegal hunts, their uncle's illegal hunts, and showed officers an illegal turtle skeleton they had in their bag.

Those fines seem really low to me, for federal violations. I would have expected smuggling parts of protected animals across state lines would be in the $10000 range, not $1000. Seems like they got off easy.

This is a joke:

Mr. Fitzpatrick was fined $1,865 and Ms. Price $1,015, and they both were put on one year of probation that bars them from hunting, according to the department.
