"FORT MYERS, Florida (AP) -- The owner of a fish hatchery has been charged with killing 4,000 endangered or protected birds and an alligator, police said.
Fish and wildlife officials arrested Vicky Davidson, 40, of Arcadia, on Tuesday after a six-month, state and federal wildlife investigation.
Davidson faces at least six violations of Florida law and the federal migratory bird act, said Gary Morse, a Florida Fish and Wildlife spokesman. The charges range from a third-degree felony to a second-degree misdemeanor.
Wildlife officials said Davidson purchased 25,000 shotgun shells and told her employees to shoot at anything that posed a threat to her fish. Wood storks, black-neck stilts, cattle egrets, eastern meadowlarks, herons and at least one alligator were killed over 11 months, Morse said.
DeSoto County Jail released Davidson Tuesday night after she posted $4,500 bail. Davidson does not have a listed phone number and could not be reached for comment."
