A | MACON, Ga. -- A South Carolina man previously convicted of smuggling protected turtles between the United States and Hong Kong faces new allegations of turtle-related crimes in Georgia. Bibb County sheriff's deputies arrested and jailed Steven Verren Baker, 43, of Holly Hill, South Carolina, on Tuesday and charged him with 15 felony counts of aggravated cruelty to animals.No lawyer was listed in Georgia court records for Baker, who remained jailed Friday with bail set at $8,250. His South Carolina lawyer has since died.Deputies were responding to a call about an abandoned dog in Macon when they noticed turtles being held in a basin nestled in a pile of trash, WMAZ-TV reports. They wrote in an incident report that a woman identified as Baker's mother told deputies that Baker had left the turtles with her about two months ago. The mother agreed to hand the turtles over to deputies, saying she had been unable to get her son to retrieve them.A veterinarian said the turtles were suffering from long-term malnutrition, bacterial and fungal infections, sepsis and shell deformities.The turtles included 11 rare albino red-eared sliders, one brown red-eared slider and two pink-bellied side necks. There was also a Chinese golden thread turtle, which is considered endangered in the wild, but is legal to breed in captivity.Baker pleaded guilty in 2018 to one count of conspiracy to smuggle wildlife in federal court in South Carolina after postal inspectors at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York found 46 turtles concealed among noodles and candy in four packages in early 2016. The turtles would be placed in socks and shipped through the mail in boxes labeled “snacks.”Five other men pleaded guilty in the South Carolina court case, but officials described Baker as the ringleader. Federal officials say Baker was sending turtles from the United States to Hong Kong, as well as receiving turtles from Hong Kong. It's illegal to trade turtles abroad without a permit when they are protected by a treaty called the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.Baker served more than two years in federal prison, followed by two years of supervised release that ended in April 2022.Baker was also ordered to forfeit $263,225, which is what officials said the turtles were worth.。
北京时间4月21日，勇士队以95-85击败火箭队，大比分1-0领先。吉米-巴特勒这场比赛的表现还是很强势，全场is拿到25分7篮板6助攻5抢断的攻防一体数据 ，他也成为勇士队史第四位首次季后赛登场就拿到25+5+5+5断的球员，也是勇士队史首位季后赛登场就5+抢断的球员；也是历史第三次季后赛25+5+5+5断的球员仅次乔丹、威少。
吉米-巴特勒在常规赛收官与附加赛都誉为 “罚特勒”不是没有道理的，开场他就制造了申京一个空气犯规。美媒评价：吉米-巴特勒对裁判“贿赂”的回应永远不会让人信服，对此我感到很遗憾。
但巴特勒的个人竞技状态不错，上半场20分钟，9中5，罚球4中3（火箭全队半场4个罚球）拿13分4助攻3篮板3抢断，正负值+18。
第三节巴特勒干拔三分命中后已经帮助勇士拉开到20分，他还朝着火箭场边解说员柯克·考辛斯说了一句——“你喜欢那样吗？”三节打完巴特勒
勇媒：当季后赛两位最出色的球员一同登场时比赛变得简单。
末节，巴特勒在最后时刻一次抢断与一个暴扣终结了比赛，末节6分2篮板2抢断，全场比赛巴特勒42分钟，19中10，三分2中1，罚球6中4拿到25分7篮板6助攻5抢断，命中率52.6%。
勇媒：季后赛的巴特勒就是迈克尔-乔丹。
巴特勒还是NBA历史上季后赛第三多的25+5+5+5断，只有乔丹与威少比他多。
最近的三场比赛巴特勒42分钟拿到25+7+6+5断，40分钟拿到38分7篮板6助攻3抢断，48分钟拿到30分9助攻1篮板1抢断，近三战打了130分钟，巴特勒在勇士三年要拿1.5974亿，大家觉得值不值？
