A Florida woman allegedly snatched a live lobster straight out of the tank at a St. Petersburg Red Lobster, but not because she longed to return the crustacean to the sea. According to the arrest affidavit, Kimberly Gabel, 42, said she was “blacked out drunk.”

The affidavit, obtained by the Smoking Gun, says that Gabel was “causing a scene” at the eatery, and the manager asked her to leave “for disturbing other customers.” According to the affidavit, the woman reached into the tank, pulled out a live lobster, and ran out of the restaurant.

Police responded to the call, and a sheriff’s deputy was able to locate Gabel — but not the lobster. The affidavit reports that the woman smelled of booze and was cursing and slurring her words. She denied knowing what she had done with the lobster, as she was “blacked out drunk,” she said, and she “did not care because she did not do anything wrong.”

Gabel was booked into the county jail on a misdemeanor count and released on a $100 bond. The lobster is still missing.
