A Macomb County man with a history of flouting the state's hunting and fishing laws has been sentenced to jailtime for ice fishing without a license, state officials said.
Derek Dermyer, 37, of Washington Township was sentenced March 10 to 30 to 180 days in jail, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources said in a press release issued Monday.
"Although rare, violators are sentenced to jail in egregious cases, like this one," said Lt. Todd Szyska, Michigan DNR law enforcement supervisor, in an email.
In December, Dermyer was cited for fishing without a license and fishing while ineligible for licenses after a DNR conservation officer caught him ice fishing on Lake St. Clair, authorities said. At the time, his license had been revoked until Jan. 1.
