The hunter who allegedly helped Walter Palmer kill Cecil the Lion in July is in trouble again for trying to smuggle sable antelopes into South Africa, according to reports.

Fifty-two year old Theo Bronkhorst, of Zimbabwe, is accused of trying to move wild animals without a permit and of being an accomplice in a smuggling racket that involved trying to bring 29 sables, worth $384,000, into South Africa, according to Associated Press. 

Bronkhorst however, reportedly did have a permit but failed to comply with its parameters. 

Prosecuting counsel Taurai Hondoyemoto said that "Bronkhorst had no right to take the trophies to another place not mentioned in the permit" 

Bronkhorst is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 28 for the part he played in Cecil's death in July. 

Three other South African men were also caught with sables when their cars got stuck along the Limpopo River, which marks Zimbabwe's border with South Africa.
