Authorities ax case against 'Apache' man in United Kingdom





A United Kingdom man who claims to live as an Apache won't face a trial for allegedly violating wildlife laws.

The 60-year-old man goes by the name Mangas Coloradas, who was an Apache leader. He was charged for possessing dead badger paws and the wings of birds of prey but the case was dropped right before the trial.

"Common sense should have come into it far sooner but they just don’t understand my native way of life," the man told The Daily Mail.
