Homer fisherman fined after trial verdict

From the Alaska State Troopers:

Location: Cordova
Type: Trial verdict
On 4/9/14 a Cordova District Court jury found Jim L. Frary, 55, of Homer, guilty of failing to complete fish tickets as required by regulation. He was fined $1,500 and placed on probation for three years. This case stemmed from an August 2011 incident where the defendant repeatedly disregarded the processor (Trident Seafoods), the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and Alaska Wildlife Troopers in their attempts to have the defendant sign (complete) two fish tickets involving blackcod and halibut deliveries. The fish tickets eventually were completed to Fish and Game's satisfaction seven months after they were due.

  1. Was this from the incident where Frary broke down in a storm and had to be rescued and had more sablefish than he was allowed?

    Whoops no, this appears to be a different event. This one happened in 2011 and the breakdown event happened in 2007. Seems Mr Frary is a habitual criminal.
