Another 'What Were They Thinking?', the Fishing in Florida Edition


It wasn't the kind of 'bite' the man was hoping to have.

While fishing off the St. Augustine pier, an unidentified man became the target of a cursing, drunken woman who was swimming naked, according to the St. John's County Sheriff's Office.

During the unusual encounter the woman, identified as 22-year-old Alexandria Turner, swam up to the man's fishing line while cursing him, bit the line in two and swam off with the line's rigging. The man called deputies and pointed out the still-swimming Turner, explaining that he'd rented the pole and was concerned he would have to pay for the loss of the pole's lure.

Deputies coaxed the intoxicated woman from the water but Turner refused to accompany them to the pier office, instead cursing the deputies while shouting "I'M (expletive) NAKED!" Turner was arrested and jailed on suspicion of public intoxication and resisting arrest without violence.

It remains unknown if the fishing lure was recovered.
