The woman sold the fresh lobster tails to an undercover state wildlife officer according to officials.
Twenty-year-old Kasey Marie Platt of Marathon made the exchange in a parking lot, Monday.

Officers contacted the poster and arranged to pay $250 for 25 tails.
An undercover officer arrested Platt after meeting her and making the purchase.
Platt has been charged with the unlicensed sale of saltwater products and the possession/sale of lobster out of season, among other charges.
