An Arizona man has been arrested in Nevada on charges accusing him of killing two federally protected golden eagles.
A Nevada Department of Wildlife spokesman says 30-year-old Dana McIvor faces six counts of unlawful possession of raptor and raptor parts, and one count of unlawful killing of an eagle.
Each misdemeanor is punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
McIvor also likely will face federal charges and possibly charges in other states. He was arrested in Elko, Nevada on Sunday.
Sheriff's deputies seized a rifle, two dead eagles, a dead hawk, two hawk wings and 124 separate eagle and hawk feathers.
