A Fort Lauderdale man was arrested after authorities said he struck another man during an argument on a kayak off Key Largo.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said 48-year-old DAS was charged with battery and resisting arrest.
Deputies were notified around 7 p.m., Monday, of two overdue kayakers from Rock Reef Resort.
Both men were later found safe following a U.S. Coast Guard search, but deputies said the pair had argued at sea and S hit the 54-year-old victim in the face and head.
The victim initially declined to press charges but changed his mind after S left the scene on shore, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said S refused to comply with commands when located a short time later and was taken to jail.
No life-threatening injuries were reported.
