Chase Cominsky pleaded guilty for his role in the Cleveland fishing tournament scandal. Now, he is facing charges related to poaching deer in Pennsylvania.
In May, 36-year-old Chase Cominsky was ordered to spend 10 days in jail for the September 2022 cheating incident that made national headlines. He was also placed on probation and had his fishing license suspended for a maximum of three years.
In a criminal complaint, the Game Commission says it received information that between 2013 and 2021, Cominsky harvested several antlered Whitetail deer unlawfully after legal shooting hours, or during closed season, without a valid license. The commission says during that period, Cominsky had his hunting privileges suspended in Pennsylvania and was not allowed to hunt in the state.
Cominsky became connected with Cleveland when he and Jacob Runyan were competing at the Lake Erie Walleye Trail tournament near North Marginal Road and Lakeshore Boulevard last year. The pair were initially declared the winners, but controversy soon erupted.
