Weird and Wacky Wednesday: “Fishermen Face Felony Charges After Rigging Competition”

(Lake Erie, OH)  —  Two men are facing felony charges after rigging an Ohio fishing competition.  Earlier this month, Jake Runyan and Chase Cominsky appeared to win 30-grand at a fishing tournament, but it was soon revealed they had stuffed their catches with lead weights and frozen fish filets.  Now, a grand jury is charging them with fifth-degree felonies, punishable by up to 12 months in prison and 25-hundred-dollars in fines.  The two finished their 2021 season with over 300-thousand-dollars in winnings, with Cominsky even using that money to buy a new boat.
