A Florida man has admitted that he illegally shipped turtles and venomous snakes from his home in South Georgia. Ashtyn Michael Rance of Miami on Thursday pleaded guilty to one count of wildlife trafficking and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, federal prosecutors said in a news release. 35-year-old Rance accepted $3,300 to ship three eastern box turtles and sixteen spotted turtles from his home in Valdosta to a customer in Florida, knowing that they would ultimately be shipped to China. He also agreed to send a package of 15 Gaboon vipers from Valdosta to Florida. The label on the box said it contained "harmless reptiles" and ball pythons, when it really contained venomous snakes. The federal Lacey Act prohibits transporting wildlife between states if the wildlife is illegal under state laws, and also prohibits falsely labeling a package containing wildlife. Rance is set to be sentenced February 23rd in Valdosta. He faces up to five years in prison on the wildlife trafficking charge and up to 10 years on the gun charge, as well as a $250,000 fine for each charge.(https://bit.ly/3oTJlPY)

A carnival worker shot fired a gun into the air during an argument with a co-worker and the bullet went through the window of a nearby assisted living facility and struck a 91-year-old woman. Authorities said the bullet traveled some 200 yards, from the grounds of the Broward County Fair to the first-floor window of the Waterside Landing assisted living facility in Margate. Officials said the woman is expected to recover from her injuries. 40-year-old Brandon Lucas Craig is facing multiple charges, including attempted murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, battery, and carrying a concealed firearm. The fair opens December 5th, and city officials are assuring the public that the incident was an isolated case. “To ensure the safety of fairgoers and as initially planned, the Margate Police Department will be continuously patrolling the fairgrounds throughout the upcoming weeks to deter any further incidents and avoid any potential risks to public safety,” Margate Mayor Antonio Arserio told the South Florida SunSentinel. Craig remained in the Broward County Jail on Friday morning. (https://bit.ly/3HCfe8m)
