Agreed. My guess is he is making $50K to 60K a month off YT. Kind of like when Rob Lowe got busted doing a sex tape in 1988. A lot of folks thought it would end his career. It made him even more popular

Move along on the Milliken thing

A felony does not require a grand jury indictment to be filed. The majority of felonies filed are via a complaint and information. From there they are taken to the grand jury. (there are timing rules if you're in custody but we won't go in to that).

It wasn't a felony that they charged him with.

Notice in 17 pages here so far, not one link to anything that says its a felony.
That is a clue.

$10k or more is a felony.

It appears it was filed in county court, making it a misdemeanor. Surprised there isn't a copy of the arrest affidavit or the information posted yet. It does not appear that Nac county has an online portal to review criminal documents. Anyone in that area want to run by the courthouse?????

Did you fact check it? Did you fact check why they used an old outdated statute?

You're either really stupid or trolling

This seems like a very petty situation on the part of TPWD. Write the guy a ticket, forfeit him from the raffle and be done.

Ben caught that fish in February 2024, from Naconiche. From what I understand his initial desire was to donate the fish, but not have the lake listed. Which makes sense, because Naconiche is tiny, and he films a lot of his content there. I wouldn’t want a surge of sharelunker hunters on a little lake I fish either.

TPWD didn’t comply with that, so I’m sure there was some strife, now look
At what they have a stupid criminal charge that garner a lot of an attention that will the the end make Milliken look good and TPWD dumb.

Before this happend my stance on SAL was I fish a lot of small lakes, and I would never donate a SAL from one of them. Now from TB, Rayburn, or some other big lake, maybe, after these shenanigans, no.

Eager to see what comes of this.

Which one are you? The fact that you keep commenting to me, when I’m clearly asking Allison a question, gives me most of that answer.

But, since you keep commenting to me, I might as well ask you. Are you with the Nacodoches police department, are you Benjamin Milliken, Ben’s lawyer or with the prosecutor in Nacodoches county? If not, then I don’t think you know anything about the case.

It’s probably Allison’s daughter…😉😆

Dang, that didn’t even cross my mind! I can’t believe our mailman hasn’t posted the court docket # and real charges for us yet though, he always so “on it” when anything relates to our new president.

This is from the Lufkin Daily News. If its true Ben knew that his fish was illegal when he entered it.
