Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon on Friday granted pardons to seven men and two women, including a man who is now working as a part-time police officer in Kansas, according to a media release.

Zane Goforth was pardoned after he was originally charged in Daviess County, Mo., in 2008 for pursuing wildlife illegally for fishing without a license.

He is currently working as a corporate pilot and as a part-time Kansas police officer in the Jackson County, Kansas community of Holton

Nixon’s office said each of those granted pardons has completed his or her sentence and become a law-abiding citizen.

“Since being paroled or discharged from probation, each of these men and women has gone on to live law-abiding lives, including some who served in the military,” Gov. Nixon said.

“Through their conduct, they have demonstrated they are deserving of a pardon.”
