Edwards v. City of Conway

Tom Glaze, Justice.

The appellants were convicted of the misdemeanor offense of hunting turkey in a closed zone. The Conway Municipal Court suspended the appellants’ hunting licenses for one year and fined them each $500 with $300 suspended. Appellants’ attorney, David L.
