Lobster Rage?
 
Lobster Rage? Woman Allegedly Shoots At Lobster Divers

POSTED: 9:23 am EDT August 2, 2004

KEY WEST, Fla. -- The hunters became the hunted when, say authorities, a
woman in the Florida Keys fired a shot at lobster divers in the canal behind
her house.

No one was hurt.

Police officers took a .38-caliber handgun from under Mary Alice Workman's
pillow, along with a flare gun and a BB gun, then arrested Workman.

The 69-year-old woman's been charged with aggravated assault for allegedly
firing the shot Thursday near a pontoon boat being used by divers
participating in the state's annual two-day sport lobster hunt.

Workman told The Associated Press the event is "just a big scam for the
hotels to make money." She said the canal is hers, the divers have no
business in it, and they're taking too many lobsters.

Workman spent Thursday night in jail and was released Friday.

There's a crazy old lady that lives on one of the rivers here in
Washington. She likes to take potshots at passing salmon fishermen,
claiming that they are tresspassing on "her" river.
