Not so wise paraglider charged with chasing owl

Wise

Dumb

He probably thought it would be a hoot, but Dell Schanze is now facing federal charges for allegedly chasing a barn owl with a motorized paraglider.
The 45-year-old has been charged with two misdemeanour counts of "knowingly using an aircraft to harass wildlife" and pursuing a migratory bird" but the United States Attorney's office in Utah.
If convicted, he could face up to a-year-and-a-half in jail and a fine of $100,000.
Members of the paragliding community asked federal and state officials for an investigation after a video appeared on YouTube, showing the man chasing the owl in his glider and the probe led to Schanze.
