Florida Woman Arrested After Social Media Picture Showed Her Riding Endangered Sea Turtle

Stephanie Marie Moore, 20, is the latest person who had been felled by a self-inflicted social media wound. Moore’s Snapchat picture riding sea turtles went viral and led to her arrest for animal cruelty this weekend in Melbourne, Florida.

Moore took her turtle ride in July. Her picture led to a torrent of complaints to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which handled the criminal investigation. She has been the subject of an outstanding warrant.

Moore was nailed after Melbourne police officers responded to a disturbance in progress and came across Moore and discovered her active warrant.
