Boring Man Sentenced For Boring Fishing-Related Offense

TILLAMOOK, Ore. (AP) - A Boring, Oregon, man has been sentenced to five days in jail for acting as a fishing guide without a valid license.

The Oregon State Police says 33-year-old Jereme Jones was also placed on three years of probation and had his angling license suspended for three years.

Lt. Bill Fugate says OSP cited Jones for guiding without a license in 2012. Police discovered last year that he was again acting as a guide. He was arrested after a fishing trip on Nehalem Bay.

Jones pleaded guilty in Tillamook County last week to one count of failing to register as a guide.

The Oregon State Marine Board registers guides to certify they carry the minimum liability insurance, and have current first aid and CPR training.
