A man who was mauled by a grizzly bear near West Yellowstone Aug. 25 went from the hospital to an Idaho jail, where he is awaiting shipment to Ohio on multiple charges of failing to pay child support.

The man identified himself as Jesshua Amun at the time of the mauling, but police in Butler County, Ohio, know him as Jeffrey Scheu, a jailer at the Bonneville County (Idaho) Jail said Thursday.

"He's in the process of being shipped out to Ohio," the jailer said.

A Bonneville County sheriff's deputy arrested Scheu, 36, at the hospital Tuesday after Ohio law enforcement officials contacted the sheriff's office.

"I don't know how they got onto him," Detective Warren Hudman, who made the arrest, said Thursday.

Scheu's picture, featuring his badly mauled face, appeared in newspapers and on wire services after the mauling.

Scheu is wanted on six counts of failing to pay child support in Ohio.

He and three other members of the Buffalo Field Campaign, a group that protests state and federal actions that harass or kill bison when they leave Yellowstone National Park, had been tracking a bull bison north of West Yellowstone that day when they surprised the bear.

Scheu, who tried to run from the bear, suffered a badly mauled face and needed hundreds of stitches to close the wounds. His companions escaped unharmed.

    sounds like he tried hard to win the "Darwin Award"...A+ for effort.

    It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it...

    Must have been a female bear.
    Latent female hostility...
    Or,
    A mother who is teaching him a lesson on taking care of children?

    What an sorry example he is:
    >Tries to take care of an animal, while CHOOSING to FAIL at taking care of his own human offspring.
    >Liar. Tried to hide his idenity. Must have some * self esteem.
    >Great poster material for the "animal rights" way of thinking.




    Happy Bullet Holes!

    Zoos know all about people who try to give animals human personalities, and get injured for their trouble. Not a very realistic mindset. But then, this guy with his alias and his warrant is particularly unimpressive. No doubt the animal rights people are embarrassed to have him aboard.
