PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. -- A Florida woman's stunt with a manatee lands her in hot water.
Police arrested the woman for riding the endangered animal. Police said the 53-year-old rode the manatee back in September.
By the time deputies got to the beach, she was gone. Witnesses gave them a description and photos and eventually she turned herself in.
She said she didn't know it was against the law.
