A Florida man who was caught on camera attacking a vulnerable shark species with a hammer was arrested on Friday after failing to respond to a court summons, authorities said.
A Florida man was caught on camera attacking a shark with a hammer — then arrested when he allegedly blew off a court summons he received for the disturbing incident, authorities said.
The shark is from a protected species, but instead of letting it go, Waddill bizarrely took out a hammer and started bashing the beast with it before tossing the animal back in the water, , citing the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s investigative report on the incident. Waddill struck the shark several times before flipping it on its side and used the backside of the hammer to rip the shark’s gills out, witnesses told the Fish and Wildlife Conservation investigator.
While shark fishing is legal in Florida, there are regulations on the type of sharks that can be caught and taken out of the ocean.
