If you like regular arrest content, be sure to check out our other channel @ArrestCam Officers with Florida Fish and Wildlife and Brevard County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call in refence to 5 individuals picking palmetto berries. Due to their medicinal qualities, there is a high demand and profit potential for palmetto berries. However, in the state of Florida, it is illegal to harvest palmetto berries without a permit as they play a vital role in the ecosystem and illegal harvesting depletes food sources for wildlife. Poaching palmetto berries is now a felony offense in Florida. All 5 were initially charged with harvesting an endangered plant without a permit, armed trespassing, and resisting an officer without violence. They all negotiated plea deals: 1. Marlene’s was ultimately charged with trespassing and resisting an officer without violence. Her adjudication was withheld and she was ordered to pay $555 in fines and costs. 2. Angelore was adjudicated guilty of trespassing and was sentenced to 2 days in jail with credit for time served and she was ordered to pay $489. 3. Blandimy was adjudicated guilty of trespassing and resisting an officer without violence. He was sentenced to 2 days in jail with credit for time served and ordered to pay $560. 4. Don was charged with trespassing and his adjudication as withheld and he was sentenced to 2 days in jail with credit for time served and ordered to pay $479. 5. Yrene was adjudicated guilty of trespassing and resisting arrest without violence. She was sentenced to 2 days in jail with credit for time served and ordered to pay $570.
