TACOMA, Wash., July 1 (UPI) -- Two members of a Washington state Indian tribe who rejected a plea deal have been sentenced to jail for killing a gray whale.

SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

U.S. Magistrate Kelley Arnold in Tacoma imposed sentences longer than the 60 days recommended by federal prosecutors, The Seattle Times reported. Wayne Johnson was given five months and Andy Noel, 90 days.

Three other members of the Makah tribe were sentenced to 100 to 150 hours of community service. All five must spend a year on probation, and Johnson and Noel must perform community service upon release.

Arnold said that none of the five can participate in any whale hunts until they complete probation.

"They've had their whale hunt", he said.
