GENTRY - A rural Gentry man is offering a reward to help catch the vandals who dumped fish guts into his car.
According to Eldon Cripps, between 10: 15 and 10: 50 p.m. Aug. 16, someone dumped several buckets of freshly cleaned fish remains inside his car, which was parked at the end of his driveway on Cripps Road.
"The fish were most likely caught at Grand Lake or Lake Eucha on Saturday, or possibly Friday night," Cripps said. "There was a mixture of catfish, white bass and crappie."
Cripps reported the incident to the Benton County Sheriff's Office and the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Cleaning up the mess took hours.
"I am offering a $ 500 cash reward to the first person providing information which leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible," Cripps said.
Cripps said that someone out there may know who did this and not even know it.
"Whoever did this may not be bragging about what they did to me, but you don't catch that many fish and not brag about it to someone," he said.
