Thanks to those BassFans who wrote in to alert us of a recent article in The Daily Tribune of Mt. Pleasant, Texas. According to the Daily Tribune, Joe Don Setina has been charged with a first degree felony of criminal mischief for allegedly cutting down trees during a period of low water in Lake Bob Sandlin. The article doesn't state Setina's hometown, nor does it reference him as a pro angler, but he's believed to FLW Tour pro Joe Don Setina of Pittsburg, Texas.
The Tribune also reported: "District Attorney Charles Bailey will present the charge to Titus County grand jurors later this month. If indicted, Setina faces five to 99 years, or life in prison."
After a 4-year hiatus, Setina rejoined the FLW Tour this year and fished three of the first four Tour events of the season. He did not fish the Travis opener, and is not fishing today at the Potomac.
More details will be published as they become available. To read the full Daily Tribune story, click here.
