2 more Chinese students held after shooting photos at base
Key West visitors always flock to the town�s favorite tourist spots � Mallory Square, Duval Street, Ernest Hemingway�s home, and the Southernmost Point Buoy � to snap photos and record memories.
But apparently, not students visiting from China. For some reason, they seem to like taking pictures of military facilities in Key West.
The latest � a pair of Chinese nationals attending the University of Michigan � were arrested over the weekend and appeared in federal court in Key West on Monday on a charge of entering a U.S. Naval property for the purpose of photographing defense installations.
At their first appearances in Key West federal court on Monday, the two defendants asked Magistrate Judge Lurana Snow to appoint lawyers to represent them.
But since both said they had about $9,000 each in a U.S. bank account, the judge required them to contribute $7,500 each to the cost of their defense.
In a similar case, another Chinese student, Lyuyou Liao, was arrested the day after Christmas on a charge of entering the Truman Annex at the Naval Air Station for the purpose of photographing defense installations.
At a detention hearing before Judge Snow on Monday, prosecutors described Liao as a 27-year-old college student in St. Louis, Missouri, who had a full scholarship from the Chinese government.
