Brent Buchanan of Bayou La Batre, Ala., was charged Dec. 5 in U.S. District Court in Gulfport, Miss., with one count of illegally taking a marine mammal in federal waters.
Taking can mean harassing, hunting, capturing or killing.
He was charged in a bill of criminal information, a charge that generally means a defendant has agreed to waive indictment and plead guilty.
The court record says he shot the dolphin in the Mississippi Sound from his boat, the F/V Seaweed 2000, in July or August 2012.
The court website did not list an attorney.
