Joseph Chapman was sentenced by Garfield County District Court Judge Denise Lynch this week, according to a court official, after he previously had pleaded guilty to a charge of willful destruction of wildlife. Chapman was arrested after the Colorado Division of Wildlife was tipped off that he had shot the deer, which frequently had been seen near a drill-rig site where Chapman was working, seven miles north of Parachute on County Road 215.
