According to FightersOnly.com, former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar failed to make an appearance in a Canadian courtroom to answer questions after violating hunting laws in Alberta last year. 

Lesnar, who is preparing for his upcoming bout against Alistair Overeem at UFC 141, did not appear in a courtroom in Medicine Hat, Alberta, and he is charged on three counts of violating the Alberta Wildlife Act. 

“A whitetail deer was found in the possession of the taxidermist and was not tagged, and as a result of that, an investigation ensued,” Alberta Sustainable Resource Development spokesman Darcy Whiteside told the Calgary Herald.

Lesnar, who is an avid hunter, owns property in Alberta and frequently visits on his down-time.

With Lesnar having failed to make a court appearance, the court date has been pushed back to January 19, 2012.

If Lesnar is found guilty, he could face up to a year in prison.
