CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Two men who cheated at a September walleye tournament in Cleveland by stuffing their fish with lead weights are headed to jail.

Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Steven Gall on Thursday sentenced Jacob Runyan, 43, of Ashtabula and Chase Cominsky, 36, of Hermitage, Pennsylvania, to spend the next 10 days in the Cuyahoga County Jail.

Once they are released from jail, each will serve a year of probation and must pay a $2,500 fine. Gall also imposed an additional 30-day jail sentence if the men violate probation

Gall will waive half the fine if the men make a $1,250 donation to a nonprofit organization that promotes fishing with children.

Runyan and Cominsky struck a plea deal with prosecutors minutes before they were set to begin trial in March. Each agreed to plead guilty to one count of cheating, a fifth-degree felony, and the fourth-degree misdemeanor of unlawful ownership of wild animals.

The fishermen agreed to have their fishing licenses suspended for up to three years as part of their plea. They also forfeited Cominsky’s Ranger bass boat, valued at $100,000, to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

In exchange for the plea, prosecutors dropped additional felony charges, including attempted theft.

Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.

There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
