In a plea bargain reached in Vernon Municipal Court, Kazemian, 50, pleaded guilty to two disorderly persons charges of resisting arrest and a summons of interfering with state Fish & Wildlife officials. In exchange, summonses alleging he poured urine in a bear trap to deter bruins, trespassed on a neighbor's property and harassed another neighbor were dismissed.
