In a pen by country music singer Troy Gentry.

He now faces five years in jail and a $20,000 fine........jail time would hurt, but $20,000 to him is chump change.

I've read that shooting animals in an enclosure is legal in some areas, but he tagged it as a wild bear.  Anyone know what law was vilolated and why the feds got involved?
