In Dorchester County, officers charged a Prince George’s County man Friday night with poaching striped bass near the Fishing Creek Bridge.
Guadalupe Zelaya Garcia, 33, of Hyattsville, was stopped as he drove away from the bridge and officers found 18 undersized striped bass in his car.
Garcia was charged with exceeding the daily catch limit, possession of undersized striped bass and failing to have a fishing license. The charges require him to appear in Dorchester County District Court. If found guilty of all charges Jan. 18, Garcia could be fined as much as $3,000.
