Thursday before Judge Christopher Ninomiya in Menominee County Circuit Court, Vetort pleaded guilty to trespassing or damages to state land - $20,000 or more. He will pay $50,000 of the restitution to the State by his sentencing date and not be able to bid on DNR logging contracts as part of the plea agreement.
"Limited logging contracts strike an important balance between resource preservation and economic development," Nessel said. "The deliberate use of these contracts to obtain access to steal State timber is a serious criminal offense and will not be tolerated."
Sentencing will be Dec. 10 at 9:30 a.m. CST.
