Two accused of tampering with Dungeness gear

From the Alaska State Troopers:

Location: Sitka
Type: Tamper with crab gear
On 8/30/13 Alaska Wildlife Troopers, Sitka Post, contacted Richard Richter, 42, and Albert Richter, 73, both of Sitka, after an investigation revealed that on 8/23/13 both men had pulled several Dungeness crab pots in Nakwasina Sound that did not belong to them. Troopers in Sitka receive numerous complaints every year from citizens about having their shellfish gear pulled without their permission. Both men were issued a summons to appear in Sitka District Court and answer to a charge of tampering with shellfish gear, a misdemeanor.
