Alaska Man Cited For Illegal Bartering: “I Need Some Firewood and I’m Willing to Trade Some Moose Meat”

Chad Gerondale, 41, has hired well-known Fairbanks attorney Bill Satterberg to represent him in the “meat for heat” case, as it has been dubbed by online spectators.

 

“I’ve got a lot to say about it but (Satterberg) told me not to,” Gerondale told the News-Miner Tuesday morning when he returned phone messages left during the weekend.

 

Alaska Wildlife Troopers last week issued Gerondale a summons to appear in court on Feb. 3 to be arraigned on a misdemeanor charge of illegal barter of game meat. Troopers issued a news release Friday stating Gerondale had been cited for agreeing to trade 125 pounds of moose meat for two cords of firewood.

 

Buying, selling or bartering of game meat, except snowshoe hares, is illegal. The one exception is caribou meat in northern and western Alaska (units 22-26) may be bartered, but the meat cannot be taken out of those units.

 

Gerondale allegedly offered to swap moose meat for firewood on the radio show, Tradio, which airs on KFAR 660 AM.

 

“The allegations are the guy was on Tradio and said, ‘I need some firewood and I’m willing to trade some moose meat,’” Satterberg said.

 

Trooper Ken Vanspronsen contacted Gerondale to make a deal and then showed up at his house and issued him a citation, Satterberg said.

chasing down a guy with moose meat while the whole world burns.  sounds like us.  We had better grow up before it's too late.

  Ken Vanspronsen needs to ditch some of his preconceived notions of what his place in the universe is.The next time he does something this frigging stupid, run his ass out of Alaska.

  The problem of poverty is not the individual victims, it is the overbreeding and hypocritical religion/government that screwed up and has yet to be shut up.

Stupid often uses bullying until jailed.

Barter and Tradeing is a God given RIGHT as long as both parties are agreeable to the swap. If Government would stop taking our jobs and money unnecesarily we could buy the things we need to survive. I say " Shame on the police" period.
