Sanders Caught Trespassing
Dallas Cowboy star Deion Sanders was arrested Wednesday on a trespassing charge after being warned to leave a restricted lake on airport property in this southwest Florida city.
Sanders was fishing on the lake with a friend when he was arrested by two officers from the Lee County Port Authority Police Department, police said.
A native of Fort Myers, Sanders said he rarely home and the temptation of the lake’s large bass was just too great.
“The only defense I have is that I’m sorry, but they were biting,” Sanders, 28, told the News-Press of Fort Myers. “I wasn’t out there 10 minutes and they caught me. But I had 10 fish by that time.”
