NANAIMO — Compliance checks by a conservation officer in Nanoose Bay cost a Parksville man a hefty fine and a hunting ban.
Aaron Adam Illes, 48, pleaded guilty to altering a license or permit late last month at provincial court in Nanaimo, leading to a $2,500 fine and two-year hunting prohibition under the provincial Wildlife Act.
Illes issued a prompt guilty plea after making an initial court appearance in early June.
He was charged by the BC Prosecution Service in April in relation to the Sept 28. 2025 offence.
