CONCH KEY, Fla. (AP) -- Deputies in the Florida Keys say a 62-year-old woman known as "the sea hag" fatally shot a 64-year-old man who refused to give her a beer.

When deputies arrived Sunday night Carolyn Dukeshire and a witness were waiting on them. Paramedics assisted Martin Mazur who died later at Fisherman's Hospital.

Thirty-year-old Casey Whippo told deputies Mazur was in a group of people who had just returned from dinner at the Brass Monkey in Marathon. They were sitting outside drinking beer when Dukeshire walked up and asked for a beer. When Mazur refused to give her one, she shot him five times in the abdomen, back and wrist.

Whippo told deputies he grabbed Dukeshire, told her she couldn't leave and called 911.

No attorney was listed on Dukeshire's jail record.

EVERGLADES CITY, Fla. (AP) -- A Florida airboat captain whose hand was bit off by a 9-foot alligator faces charges of feeding of a gator.

Collier County Jail records show 63-year-old Wallace Weatherholt was charged Friday with unlawful feeding of an alligator and later posted $1,000 bond. His next court date is Aug. 22.

The arrest was first reported by the Fort Myers News-Press (http://newspr.es/PVBBGP ).

Weatherhold was attacked on June 12th as he was giving an Indiana family a tour of the Everglades. The family said Weatherholt hung a fish over the side of the boat and had his hand at the water's surface when the alligator attacked.

Wildlife officers tracked and euthanized the gator. Weatherholt's hand was found but could not be reattached.

A criminal investigation followed. Feeding alligators is a second-degree misdemeanor.

The shooting story reminded me of this.....

Years ago while visiting Key West....we went into a bar. There was a 70ish year old woman perched on a bar stool swigging a beer. She was dressed like a saloon girl left over from 'Gunsmoke" and full of tattoos....we were told there were several of the old Key West hookers that still hung out in the bars waiting for customers to buy them a beer.

I used to drive to the lowlands of Louisiana. It is amazing what an 18 wheeler does to an Alligator. There was dozens of gators splattered all over the road for miles. Guess it's okay to run them over , just don't feed them.
