One pickup truck, lots of tickets

THE DALLES, Ore. (AP) - Oregon State Police said a trooper who pulled over a pickup truck traveling at 79 miles per hour in a 55 miles-per-hour zone south of The Dalles did more than write a speeding ticket. They say she also found an illegally killed trophy-sized buck in the pickup bed.

Sergeant Julie Wilcox said a 31-year-old passenger is accused of having unlawfully shot the buck with a bow and arrow in the White River Unit.

The passenger, Eric Eugene Burris of Portland, also was taken into custody Sunday for investigation of failure to register as a sex offender.

Police say the 25-year-old driver was cited for aiding in a game violation and the speeding issue, as well as driving uninsured and possession of less than an ounce of marijuana.

The deer and a compound bow were seized.
