MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A 41-year-old man faces charges after witness said he pretended to drown and then allegedly began to throw jellyfish at beachgoers. According to a sheriff’s office report, Keith Edward Marriott caused “concern for his safety” when he repeatedly submerged himself and floated back to the top of the water and he was also “loud and disruptive.”
He then started throwing the sea creatures.
