Eagle Nest Tree Cutter Pierree Thompson's Company Prosecuted

Environmental destroyers in St. Augustine and St. Johns County please take note: you can be prosecuted criminally for felonies. See below (St. Augustine Record and Times -Union articles today on criminal prosecution of PIERRE THOMPSON's company for molesting a bald eagle, to wit, cutting down an eagle nest tree on October 8, 2001.

We broke the story of the Justice Department's long delays in deciding whether or not to prosecute PIERRE THOMPSON for cutting down an eagle nest tree in 2005.


Longtime local residents told me the feds would not prosecute THOMPSON because he was a rich developer and grandson of the founder of the St. Augustine Record. In a sense, the locals were right because THOMPSON wasn't charged. But felony charges have been filed against his company, and a plea bargain is expected, hopefully one in which THOMPSON turns over land to the federal government for a St. Augustine National Historical Park, National Seashore and National Scenic Highway (see below).

Our city of St. Augustine and St. Johns County are worth saving. Like any good diplomats, we won't take "no" for an answer. We're going to clean up St. Augustine and St. Johns County, with your help.
