The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission arrested two men in the illegal killing of a tarpon in Key Largo. Officers are working to identify a third man who they say was also involved.
Arsenio Ravelo, 21, of Homestead, and Sergio Leon, 28, of Hialeah, were charged with multiple misdemeanors. A bond amount of $75,000 was set for both suspects.
In March, the FWC received photographs and video of a large tarpon being held by three men on a dock in Key Largo. Two of the three individuals were identified by several witnesses and additional photographs were provided showing the men hoisting the tarpon into a truck, the FWC reported.
