Tylertown, MS - Four people facing criminal charges are accused of trapping and illegally selling wild hogs in Louisiana and Mississippi.

Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks Major Lane Ball says his department cited the four on March 29, raiding a pen in southern Walthall County.

Christopher and Mandy Miley of Franklinton, Louisiana, are charged will illegally importing, transporting and selling wild hogs, and trapping without a license.

Sierra Miley of Tylertown and Bethanie Toothman of Sulphur, Louisiana, are charged with illegally selling hogs.  The four are due April 27 in Walthall County Justice Court.

Although wild hogs are a nuisance, Ball says some people buy them to train hunting dogs.  He says the four are trapping hogs and selling them to people in Louisiana and Mississippi, charging as little as $50.00 apiece.
