EDDY CO., N.D. (KFGO/KVRR) — Charges have been filed in a hunting dispute in Eddy County that went viral on social media.
North Dakota Game Warden James Myhre was called on the morning of Oct. 21 after landowner Jeffrey Erman accused a group of hunters of being on his land.
Erman confronted the hunters a number of times, swearing at them and telling them they could pay $300 if they wanted to hunt on his land.
Jacob Sweere took the video. He and his friends said they got permission from farmers to be on the neighboring land.
Erman has been charged for trading in special influence, disorderly conduct, and interference with rights of hunters and trappers.
One hunter, Dustin Wolf, was charged with criminal trespass.
The charges were filed Wednesday by Eddy County State’s Attorney Ashley L. Lies.
Erman and Wolf are both expected in court on Nov. 10 for an initial appearance on the charges.
