摘要

A Texas man landed in jail when police in the Florida Keys caught him poaching lobsters a day before the start of the spiny lobster miniseason. The annual lobster miniseason began this morning and runs through tomorrow night, while the regular eight-month commercial season begins on Aug. 6. Yuliver Rodriguez-Tejeda, 43, got a head start yesterday and was arrested on 14 counts of possession of out-of-season lobsters, 14 counts of possession of wrung lobster tails on the water, 10 counts of possession of undersized lobster, possessing over-the-bag limit lobsters, and tampering with evidence, Monroe County Sheriff's spokesman Adam Linhardt said in a news release.
