GOLDENDALE — A Columbia River tribal fisherman has been sentenced to jail for selling sturgeon and salmon at times when commercial sales were prohibited.
Donnell Frank, 46, of Portland, illegally sold the fish in 2015 and 2016 for up to $500 per transaction, primarily out of the back of his car, according to the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The fish were caught between the Bonneville and McNary dams and sold in in Goldendale.
Frank, who pleaded guilty to three felony counts of fish trafficking, was sentenced in Klickitat County Superior Court to four months in jail and fined $1,050.
