From the "only in Louisiana" file, two Grand Chenier men were sentenced late last month for their role in the theft of alligator eggs in Vermilion Parish, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries reported Saturday.

Paul Canik, 48, pleaded no contest to illegal possession of alligator eggs and criminal trespass. Christopher Trahan, 25, pleaded no contest to not abiding by rules and regulations.

Judge Edward Broussard of the 15th Judicial District Court ordered Canik to pay a $593 fine for illegal possession of alligator eggs and a $50 fine for criminal trespassing. Canik was also ordered to forfeit $1,740 from the sale of the illegally taken alligator eggs and an 18-foot aluminum boat with motor and trailer. Canik's egg-collection privileges were also suspended for 18 months. Trahan was ordered to pay a $293 fine.

Enforcement agents had cited Canik and Trahan on July 21, 2015, for illegally collecting 523 alligator eggs. Agents said Canik collected the eggs from property he did not have permission to access. Trahan assisted in the transport of the illegally taken eggs, the department said.
