State v. Yon

¶ 1 — Jason Yon appeals his two convictions of wildlife trafficking in the first degree under RCW 77.15.260, imposed for his purchase of four bear gallbladders for $200 apiece. He argues that this statute does not permit a value *198aggregation of pieces of contraband to reach the $250 threshold required to commit the crime. He also claims that RCW 77.15.030 requires each piece of contraband he purchased to be treated as a separate offense. Because we find that RCW 77.15.030 is applicable in this case, we reverse the convictions and remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
