10h agoA man from Monmouth County has admitted to illegally trying to
send 10 live lizards to Hong Kong.
Jason Ksepka pleaded guilty in federal court in Trenton on Tuesday
to falsely labeling an international shipment of wildlife.
The U.S. attorney's office says the 44-year-old shipped a package
via U.S. mail from Lambertville in Nov. 2017 destined for Hong Kong that contained
10 live rhinoceros iguanas.
Prosecutors say Ksepka falsely labeled the contents of the package
as toys and used a fictitious name.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service inspectors intercepted the package
at New York's JFK Airport and removed the reptiles.
AP wire services helped contribute to this report.
