KEY WEST, Fla. – A woman and her 61-year-old father were hit in the head with a baseball bat Saturday after warning a group of about 20 college-aged people gathered on a Florida Keys beach about social distancing due to coronavirus, sheriff’s officials said.
The woman, 21, told Monroe County sheriff’s deputies that she and her father noticed the group drinking on Wisteria Island, which is off Key West, and confronted them about social distancing, sheriff’s officials said in an email.
They also asked them to keep the noise down. The woman told deputies that she and her father live in a boat anchored off Wisteria Island, the report said.
