Police in North Port arrested five shark-tooth hunters for digging on private property. The result? Five shark-tooth hunters now face felony trespassing charges.
The North Port Police warned people about the dangers lurking on construction sites: enormous holes, slippery ground, and heavy equipment. These areas aren’t just off-limits; they’re genuinely unsafe.
Walk in or dig there, and you’ll face felony trespassing charges. That shark tooth isn’t worth ending up in jail. The police really spelled it out: you might score some fossils, but you could end up cuffed.
Bodycam video shows police warning the group about the dangers of construction sites. Police warned that they can contain large holes, water intrusion, unstable ground and heavy machinery.
“Don’t learn the hard way,” they said. Florida has plenty of spots for shark-tooth hunting that won’t land you in trouble, so stick to those. Why trade an exciting hobby for a criminal record?
