A man who claims he picked up a dead bald eagle after seeing it get struck by a vehicle faces charges from the Department of Natural Resources. Josh Sharpe said he was with his girlfriend in early June when he saw a minivan strike a juvenile bald eagle on Veteran’s Memorial Parkway near Westside Road. “It was dead,” he told the Statesboro Herald.
