Update #2: Bear Killed On WCU Campus

Way back in October I wrote about the black bear that was killed on the Western Carolina University campus, draped in Obama campaign signs, and thrown under the catamount statue at the front of campus. It’s been a long time, but finally an update. I hadn’t heard anything at all until the March 27th issue of the Western Carolinian came out. Apparently two brothes from Wilksboro NC, Marvin and Mathew Williams, admitted to the incident. They were sentenced to two years of unsupervised probation, court costs, and 72 hours community service.
