Reinke pleaded not guilty to charges in Yellowstone National Park that included disturbing wildlife and carrying an open container of alcohol in a vehicle. In Grand Teton charges included being under the influence of alcohol to a degree that endangers self or others, interfering with an agency function, resisting arrest, and disturbing the peace.

The Yellowstone bison can sleep easy though, Reinke will remain in custody until his August 23 trial.
