After executing warrants in a multistate bear poaching sting, authorities had arrested seven Georgians by Friday. Brent Thomas, 39, of Cleveland faces more than 100 poaching charges in seven counties, including unlawful use of bear bait, possession of illegally taken wildlife, littering, possession of a firearm on a closed wildlife management area, hunting from a motor vehicle and hunting deer at night. Col. Eddie Henderson, law enforcement chief for the Georgia Wildlife Resources Commission, on Tuesday had described Thomas as being a “true hard-core poacher.”
