SUNSET, La. (KLFY)– Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries tell KLFY that agents cited a Sunset man for allegedly killing an alligator during a closed season.

Agents say they cited Kenneth Arceneaux, 49, on June 10, 2016, for “Taking or possessing an alligator during a closed season and intentional concealment of illegally taken wildlife.”

According to a news release, agents responded to an anonymous complaint against Arceneaux. When agents showed up at Arceneaux’s residence on June 10 they learned that Arceneaux had harvested a six-foot alligator in Cameron Parish earlier that morning.

Agents say they seized the meat.

Possessing an alligator during a closed season and intentional concealment of illegally taken wildlife each brings up to a $950 fine and up to 120 days in jail for each offense. Arceneaux may also face a total of $375 in civil restitution for the illegally taken alligator.

The alligator season for Cameron Parish doesn’t open until the first Wednesday in September.
