We move onwards from "Florida Man" and "Florida Woman" to "Florida Couple", ages 65 and 61, attacking a 36-year old snorkeler for being, "too close to their home."

Couple Arrested After Allegedly Beating Snorkeler Swimming Near Marathon Home.

Paulo De Oliveira, 65, and his wife Katia, 61, were arrested Sunday and charged with both aggravated battery and simple battery.

A Florida Keys couple was arrested this weekend after allegedly attacking and beating a snorkeler following a dispute over how close he was to their home.

Paulo De Oliveira, 65, and his wife Katia, 61, were arrested Sunday and charged with both aggravated battery and simple battery.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office said deputies were called to the couple's Marathon home around 1:30 p.m. regarding the incident. The victim, a 36-year-old man from St. Petersburg, told deputies he was snorkeling close to the dock of the couple home when an argument began.

He said the couple beat him with a pole and fishing rod, causing him to bleed profusely from his head. The victim was taken to Fisherman's Hospital, where his condition and identity were not released.

"You're too close to our home!" WTF? Does their house sit within 3 inches of some  body of water that's deep enough for snorkeling?
