Virginians guilty in D.C. hunting case

Published February 9, 2008 5:00am ET



Two Virginia men pleaded guilty to unlawfully hunting and killing an eight-point buck and two red foxes in a District of Columbia park behind the police impoundment lot.

Derek B. Vereen, 46, of Alexandria, and Steven M. Kowalik, 47, of Leesburg, were captured by U.S. Park Police last Thanksgiving morning after authorities said they found the duo crouched over a large-antlered whitetail deer in a meadow known as U.S. Reservation Number 421, on the border of Shepherd Parkway. The park is known commonly as the old D.C. Tree Nursery.
