A man who admitted to cheating in an attempt to win money in an Ohio fishing tournament is facing new charges in Pennsylvania. Thirty-six-year-old Chase Cominsky was charged last week with eight wildlife crimes in Mercer County. The charges all involve whitetail deer taken between 2013 and 2021.
SHARON, Pa. — One of two men who admitted stuffing fish with lead weights and fish fillets last year in an attempt to win thousands of dollars in a walleye fishing tournament on Lake Erie in Ohio is facing new charges in Pennsylvania.
The Sharon Herald reported that the game commission’s northwest region wardens received allegations that Cominsky had taken several antlered whitetail deer either after legal shooting hours or during closed season and without a valid license between 2013 and 2021. During that period, Cominsky’s hunting privileges in Pennsylvania were suspended. The charges involve unlawful killing or possession of game and unlawful acts on licenses, tagging and reporting of big game kills.
Cominsky and Jacob Runyan of Ashtabula, Ohio, were sentenced in Ohio in May to 10-day jail terms after pleading guilty in March in Cuyahoga County to cheating and unlawful ownership of wild animals. Cominsky also agreed to give up his bass boat worth $100,000. Both men were fined and also agreed to three-year suspensions of their fishing licenses.
