Man Cited for Illegally Killing Geese in Ohio

On September 10, a Springfield golf course employee named Brian Comer was cited for illegally shooting two geese, despite claims that Haitian immigrants were responsible for such actions. Witnesses reported seeing Comer, described as a middle-aged white man riding a lawnmower, shoot the geese without the required permits. Although the golf course manager believed Comer had permission to hunt due to a nuisance permit, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources confirmed that no such permit existed and Comer lacked the necessary hunting licenses. He faces a fourth-degree misdemeanor charge, which could result in up to 30 days in jail and/or a $250 fine. This incident has been overshadowed by false claims from public figures like Donald Trump and JD Vance, who alleged that Haitian migrants were responsible for hunting geese and taking pets in the area. Officials have stated there are no credible reports supporting these claims against the Haitian community.
