125 Hunting Violations Charged Against Glen Burnie Man

Maryland Natural Resources Police say a Glen Burnie man had more than 100 sets of antlers without corresponding hunting tags.

Glen Burnie, MD — An Anne Arundel County man has been charged with 125 counts of wildlife violations following a year-long investigation into his hunting activities, according to Maryland Natural Resources Police.

Richard Norman Warren, 64, of Glen Burnie, was arrested Friday on a criminal warrant issued by an Anne Arundel County District Court Commissioner.

Charging documents say that last year a search of freezers, a shed and a cargo-style container at Warren's former business found 134 sets of antlers with skull caps attached, untagged venison and turkey, several containers of deer tails and boundary signs belonging to the Department of Natural Resources.

The current owner of the business told police the outbuildings still belonged to Warren.

Warren told officers the antlers were his and the result of 50 years of hunting. He later said some of the antlers were given to him by friends.
