Man, 88, Arrested for Fishing in a Decorative Mall Fountain for the Third Time This Year
Man, 88, Arrested for Fishing in a Decorative Mall Fountain for the Third Time This Year CLEARWATER, FL — An 88-year-old Florida man was arrested after allegedly setting up a full fishing station inside a shopping mall fountain, insisting decorative koi were "fair game." Witnesses said Walter Jenkins arrived with a folding chair, tackle box, cooler, and umbrella before casting his line between shoppers headed to the food court. Mall security said it was the third time this year he'd been caught fishing in the same fountain. On previous occasions, he'd argued the posted "Do Not Enter Fountain" sign "said nothing about catch-and-release." Deputies say Walter even offered children five dollars if they'd yell, "He's got one!" whenever he reeled in leaves. When officers approached, he reportedly whispered, "Quiet... I'm working a good spot." He was arrested after refusing to pack up until "sunset or limit, whichever came first."
