At least 10 officers armed with machineguns swarmed a house owned by a man named as Ralph H, a 56-year-old who has connections to paedophile and main suspect Brueckner.
The 52-year-old’s ordeal was detailed in a report by the American Journal of Case Reports. It came after he complained of weekly migraines that were unresponsive to medication.
The report says he “lived at home with his wife and cat” in a modern house – which made the discovery of tapeworm larvae strange as he’d not travelled to any risky food areas.
He did, however, indulge in “lightly cooked, non-crispy bacon” for most of his life.
Arthur “Jack” Schubarth, 80, of Vaughn, Montana pleaded guilty to felony charges of wildlife trafficking and conspiracy to traffic wildlife during an appearance before a federal judge in Missoula. Each count carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a US$250,000 fine.
Beginning in 2013 Schubarth conspired with at least five other people in "a decade-long effort to create giant sheep hybrids" that would get higher prices from hunting preserves that allow people to kill captive trophy game animals for a fee, prosecutors said.
Schubarth used flesh obtained from a hunter who had killed a sheep in Krgyszstan belonging to the world's largest species of the animals — Marco Polo argali sheep — and used the genetics to procure cloned embryos from a lab, according to court documents.
