Florida Palmetto Berry Heist | Charleston News

Four people got busted in Brevard County, Florida, for illegally harvesting 200 pounds of palmetto berries off private land—claiming one had a permit, which turned out to be for the wrong spot. Sheriff Wayne Ivey made it clear this isn’t just a minor offense: harvesting and selling these berries without proper permits is a felony, especially when profit’s involved. He warned that trespassing for this purpose could lead to serious consequences—and hinted at links to larger crimes like human trafficking. Bottom line: get permission, get permits, and stay off private property—or face the law. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
