A Chinese farmer who claimed to have taken photos of a rare tiger was sentenced to two and a half years in prison on Saturday for faking the pictures, a court official and state media said.
Zhou Zhenglong was tried for fraud in Xunyang County People’s Court in Shaanxi province Saturday morning and was sentenced a little over five hours later, the Xinhua News Agency said.
An official who answered the telephone at the court said in addition to the prison sentence, Zhou was also fined $290. She refused to give her name or any other details.
