Three men pleaded guilty in the Eastern District of Texas to illegally trafficking alligator snapping turtles. Travis Joseph Leger, 40, and Rickey Paul Simon, 57, both of Sulphur, Louisiana, and Jason Gene Leckelt, 36, of Wilburton, Oklahoma, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act by illegally trafficking alligator snapping turtles. Simon and Leckelt pleaded guilty in court Aug. 17 and Leger entered his guilty plea on Monday.
Alligator snapping turtles are designated as threatened with statewide extinction under Texas State Law, which strictly prohibits anyone from taking, capturing, transporting or selling these turtles, or attempting to do so. The turtles also are protected under Louisiana State Law, which makes it illegal to sell or barter for the turtles.
