(Alexandria)- A Louisa man who caught and sold wild turtles has pleaded guilty in federal court to illegally trafficking the reptiles. 41-year-old Stanlee Fazi admitted in federal court in Alexandria that he made nearly $13,000 over three years selling turtles to customers across the U.S. Prosecutors said many were brokers who went on to sell the turtles to customers in Asia, where the animals are in demand as pets. He is set to be sentenced July 26.
