MIAMI (AP) — Officials say a second person has been arrested after a viral video showed people popping party balloons on a yacht at a South Florida marina and dumping the rubbery scraps into the bay.
Miami-Dade police say a 26-year-old woman was arrested Friday and charged with willful disregard for the environment.
A 29-year-old man was arrested Wednesday on a similar charge.
Detectives have also issued more than $25,000 in civil citations.
The viral video that led to the arrest was posted Tuesday on a social media page.
Detectives determined that about 50 deflated party balloons had been dumped into Biscayne Bay at the Bayshore Landing.
