Dead shark found
on Tybee island
SAVANNAH - Members
of the Tybee Island Public
Works Department scooped
up an 8-and-a-half-foot shark
from the beach Thursday.
It isn’t clear how the crea
ture died, but it was found
with a metal-cable lead from
a fishing line in its mouth.
“A guy from public works
talked to a witness that said
they saw somebody fishing,
cut the lead and left it,” said
Patrick Geer, Research and
Survey’s Program supervi
sor at the Coastal Resources
Division of the Georgia
Department of Natural
Resources.
The shark was found on
the north end of the island
near the curve of Butler
Avenue.Geer wasn’t at the
scene but said it could be a
lemon shark.
“They are not uncom
mon,” Geer said.
“If I had to conjecture why
it was along the coast, salin
ity is high this summer.”
Drought conditions mean
less fresh water is dump
ing into the ocean, mean
ing water along the beach
is saltier, creating a more
comfortable habitat for the
sharks. Fishing lemon shark
is legal by state law, Geer
said. But in 2001, the Tybee
City Council passed a law
banning fishing for shark
from the beach, docks or
pier. City employees buried
the shark’s carcass on city
property.

husband as Duy Pham, 32.
District Attorney Danny
Porter said Nghia Tran, 33,
shot the woman Wednesday
afternoon in a subdivision
cul-de-sac, then put the gun
under his chin and fired.
Tran was listed in criti
cal condition Thursday at
Gwinnett Medical Center.
Authorities said Tran
knew the couple, but they
have not provided details of
the relationship. Witnesses
told police Tran was stand
ing with the couple outside
their car when he brought
out the gun and began
shooting. Pham and the
woman’s 2-year-old son
were not harmed. The shoot
ing happened in front of a
house where Tran’s rela
tives live. Police spokesman
Cpl. Darren Moloney said
the woman and her husband
were visiting from Alabama.
Leonard ordered to
pay line
ATLANTA (AP) - A former
campaign manager for Linda
Schrenko’s 2002 gubernato
rial campaign was sentenced
Thursday to one year of pro
bation and a fine of $3,000
for attempted witness tam
pering.
Richard Leonard, 44, of
Augusta, Ga., pleaded guilty
on December 21, 2004 to
witness tampering after he
attempted to dissuade a wit
ness from providing truthful
information to federal law
enforcement agents regard
ing the source of cash con
tributions for Schrenko’s
failed and scandal-ridden
campaign. U.S. District
Judge Clarence Cooper also
ordered Leonard to pay a
special assessment of $25
and perform 75 hours of
community service. Leonard
was Schrenko’s campaign
manager through the sum
mer of 2002. At that time he
recruited a campaign worker
to cash “focus group” checks,
in the amount of $590 each,
and return the proceeds
from the checks as contribu
tions to the campaign.
