Wildlife authorities are still looking for any information on who committed one of the most unpatriotic acts in American history.
In February 2023, a bald eagle nest was destroyed on West Lamberth Road in Sherman.
According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, bald eagles are protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which makes killing, disturbing, or harming eagles' feathers, nests, or eggs illegal.
According to NBC DFW, the maximum penalty for violating the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act is one year in jail and $100,000 per individual or $200,000 per organization for the first offense.
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act carries penalties from six months to one year in jail and fines of up to $250,000 per individual, depending on the offense.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services is offering $1,500 for any information leading to the arrest of the suspect(s) in the case.
