FWC nabs accused lobster poacher on turnpike

A traffic stop along the Florida Turnpike Wednesday revealed a major wildlife law violation. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) officers responded when summoned to the scene by Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputies.

A vehicle inspection revealed a cooler containing 232 lobster tails, 167 of which were undersized. Alberto Varea, 54, of Hialeah, was charged with possession of the illegal tails, a second-degree misdemeanor. Officers seized the lobsters.

“This is a perfect example how interagency cooperation often results in detection of major wildlife law violations,” said Lt. Chuck Russo. “This case is a sad example that shows some people have no respect for Florida’s natural resources.”

I'd like to think they feed the needy with it after they've photographed it as evidence.
