Fla. Woman Arrested On Charge She Rode Manatee
Ana Gloria Garcia Gutierrez, 53, was arrested on a misdemeanor warrant Saturday on the charge of violating Florida’s Manatee Sanctuary Act
A St. Petersburg woman has been charged with violating Florida law by riding a manatee, authorities said.
Ana Gloria Garcia Gutierrez, 53, was arrested on a misdemeanor warrant Saturday on the charge of violating Florida’s Manatee Sanctuary Act. Pinellas County sheriff’s deputies say she was photographed riding the manatee at Fort De Soto Park in September.
On Oct. 2, Sheriff Bob Gualtieri held a press conference asking for the public’s help in identifying the woman. Gutierrez called deputies and allegedly admitted touching the endangered sea mammal. She told them she was new to the area and didn’t know it was illegal to touch a manatee. The manatee was not hurt.

Looks like she was arrested for putting red shorts and a hat on a manatee.

There’s riding a manatee and then there’s riding a manatee.
I’m just grateful that this isn’t a tale of another deviant.

No doubt we need to make an example of her since this is so prevalent.

Imagine watching the local sherrifs most wanted on the nightly new, seeing gangs wanted for murder or drugs, or the flashing molestor, or the innerstate bank robber, or the identity thief whole stole peoples entire life savings………….. and then seeing this come up.

“The manatee was unhurt.” Physically maybe, but imagine the trauma of beig assaulted by a fat Latina? “Authorities say the manatee will need years of therapy, and regular checks for herpes.”

That’s no manatee.
It’s a drug sub that she’s piloting.

Will this work both ways? If a human is attacked by a shark can we expect to have the shark arrested and booked for assault?

Damn, brings back college drinking days. That was my pickup line: “Wanna come over to my place and ride the manatee?” It worked every time…as I remember.
