Two men who used short-barreled rifles to kill three wild burros in the Mojave Desert in 2021 pleaded guilty on Monday to federal charges, prosecutors said.
Under a plea deal, prosecutors agreed to recommend probation rather than prison time for the pair, who face up to 10 years behind bars just for their gun offenses. Cameron John Feikema, 36, of Yorba Linda, and Christopher James Arnet, 32, of Loveland, Colo.
As part of their plea agreement with prosecutors, Feikema and Arnet agreed to turn over their rifles, more than 4,000 rounds of ammunition, night vision goggles and other tactical gear, according to court documents. Both men face a maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison for the firearm charge and up to one year in federal prison for killing the burros.
