Published: January 15, 2009
PANAMA CITY - A Florida Panhandle fishing boat captain has admitted to making pipe bombs and throwing them at dolphins to scare them away from his lines.
Fifty-year-old Garry Alvin Key of Panama City pleaded guilty to two federal changes Thursday in U.S. District Court.
He could face up to 10 years in prison for possession of an explosive device by a convicted felon and one year for attempting to take a marine mammal.
Sentencing is set for March 25 in Panama City.
Federal prosecutors said he was arrested in August after state conservation officers received a tip he was making the bombs to kill dolphins.
