A 27-year-old Florida City man was found with 12 undersized lobsters after he was stopped for speeding in Islamorada on Sunday morning.
Nacarrio Comer was cited for speeding and given a notice to appear in court for the undersized lobsters.
Deputy Nelson Sanchez stopped Comer for traveling 61 mph in a 45 mph zone on U.S. 1. It was discovered he had 13, live, lobsters in a cooler inside the vehicle. Of the 13 lobsters, 12 were undersized.
Comer said he makes his business by buying live lobsters in the Keys and selling them for a profit on the mainland.
The lobsters were returned to the sea alive.
