Following a thorough six-month investigation by Avon and Somerset Police, Gregory pleaded guilty to breaching the Hunting Act 2004 during a Vale of Taunton and Banwell Harriers hunt last November. The incident occurred when Gregory failed to call off his dogs while they were pursuing a fox, a clear violation of the law.
