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.

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. » \? 818 BHBHHMBH9MI ' WDODGEQUAD CAB Auto 'u^'vjhjjjjsftm/fi : ‘//rJfr or* 9 * I '' ,'w'l Q?TOYOTfITftEOMftii M* : j mitali ! 4&NSSAN FRONTIER 1 CREW CAB SHAHM .StPf BBBBiii
