               It is expressly understood and agreed that the payment of $35.00 per beaver applies
               strictly to beavers acquired in Currituck County. A fine will be imposed on anyone
               bringing beavers from outside Currituck County in the amount of $500.00 for the first
               illegal beaver and then $500.00 for each additional illegal beaver. Each illegal beaver
               will be considered a separate violation and also will result in a loss of permit issued
               by Currituck County. A $500.00 reward will be given to anyone who has any information
               leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone bringing in beavers from outside Currituck
               County and trying to or collecting a bounty on them. Any rewards that are paid will
               be deducted from the $4,000.00 maximum amount funded for this program. The County
               of Currituck will pursue any violation of North Carolina criminal statutes for taking
               of beaver outside the County of Currituck and receiving payment for same, including,
               but not limited to, obtaining property by false pretense, or any other violation of
               North Carolina General Statutes concerning criminal violations. Violation of this
               article is a misdemeanor punishable as provided in G.S. 14-4 plus a fine of $500.00
               per beaver brought in from outside of Currituck County for collection.
