ORLANDO, Fla.(AP) PGA Tour golfer Tripp Isenhour was charged with killing a hawk on purpose with a golf shot because it was making noise as he videotaped a TV show. Isenhour was with a film crew for "Shoot Like A Pro" on Dec. 12 at the Grand Cypress Golf course. The 39-year-old golfer, whose real name is John Henry Isenhour III, was charged Wednesday with cruelty to animals and killing a migratory bird.
The charges carry a maximum penalty of 14 months in jail and $1,500 in fines.
According to court documents, Isenhour got upset when a red-shouldered hawk began making noise, forcing another take. He began hitting balls at the bird, then 300 yards away, but gave up.
Isenhour started again when the hawk moved within about 75 yards, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer Brian Baine indicated in a report.
Isenhour allegedly said "I'll get him now," and aimed for the hawk.

What, were there no pit bulls to abuse?
Anybody else hope they nail this yutz to the proverbial cross?

I was born after waiving extradition in October 1959. My mother was a goalie coach for the pond hockey team at a juvenile detention center. My father was the first to combine Doritos with Clearasil, thus causing and curing acne at the same time. Think of me as the one who pushes the Bull***t button on the game show of life. My interests are Swedish maritime hymnals, Victorian iodine bottles and four-digit numbers.
