Keys Woman Charged With Shooting Lobster Divers

POSTED: 2:59 pm EDT July 31, 2004
UPDATED: 3:15 pm EDT July 31, 2004

KEY WEST, Fla. -- A woman who was upset about lobster divers in the canal behind her house in the Florida Keys has been arrested after allegedly shooting at them with a handgun.

Witnesses tell investigators that 69-year-old Mary Alice Workman pointed the gun at a pontoon boat and opened fire as others warned divers participating in the state's annual two-day sport lobster hunt. No one was injured.

Workman said she fired into the water and could see the bullet's downward path.

"They was taking the lobster, and we're not going to have no more lobsters," she said.

Workman told police she had a .38-caliber handgun under her pillow. Officers confiscated the gun, a handheld flare gun and a BB gun.

She was charged Thursday with aggravated assault and discharging a firearm in public. She smiled for her mug shot, spent the night in the Monroe County Jail and was released Friday.

If that was me opening fire on an abortion clinic for taking babies, I would be in prison already charged with attempted murder.

Not sure how serious this really is. If you are really, I mena, really out to do harm to lobster divers, you dip your bullets in drawn butter first.

"They was taking the lobster, and we're not going to have no more lobsters," she said.

Senility.
