Two boaters seen on a viral video dumping trash into the ocean off Florida are minors, and charges against them are imminent, a state official said Thursday.
Two boaters seen on a viral video dumping trash into the ocean off Florida are minors, and charges against them are imminent, a state official said Thursday.
Attorneys for the juveniles have advised them not to cooperate with investigators, said Maj. Dustin Bonds, a south region commander with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, or FWC.
The agency is working with prosecutors in Palm Beach County's state attorney's office to determine the appropriate charge, Bonds said.
The weight of the garbage that was dumped Sunday into the Boca Inlet could affect the charges, Bonds said.
Bonds said he was in disbelief as he watched the video because he has never seen anyone dump trash into the ocean.
