A judge sentenced him Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to one count of wildlife trafficking in violation of the Endangered Species Act.
Barkman admitted selling and shipping a lion skull and leopard claws in 2016 to a New York man. That man was sentenced in 2018 to nine months in prison for exporting dozens of protected animal parts to Thailand.
