(164,047 posts)3. Bison taunting man apprehended in Glacier NP
Buckrail POSTED ON AUGUST 3, 2018
JACKSON HOLE, WYO The long arm of the park law caught up with the man seen this week in the viral video taunting a bison in Yellowstone National Park.
Last night around 10:45pm, Glacier National Park rangers apprehended Raymond Reinke, 55, from Pendleton, Oregon. Reinke was wanted following an incident earlier this week at Yellowstone National Park when he was captured on video harassing a bison.
Yellowstone National Park Superintendent Dan Wenk said, We appreciate the collaboration of our fellow rangers in Glacier and Grand Teton national parks on this arrest. Harassing wildlife is illegal in any national park.

Raymond Todd Reinke mugshot from arrest on 11/23/13.
(Umatilla County Jail)
Reinke had been traveling to multiple national parks over the last week. On July 28, he was first arrested by law enforcement rangers at Grand Teton National Park for a drunk and disorderly conduct incident. He spent the night in the Teton County Jail, and was then released on bond.

I saw the video, and all I could think was doesn't this idiot know he could be killed?

That is sad, that these types of tourists have become the bane of our national parks...
