Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody warns price gouging on gasoline and hotels and any looting after Hurricane Idalia's landfall will be prosecuted.
Our population is growing exponentially. And so we have a lot of Floridians that have never experienced a storm like this," Moody told Fox News Digital."And so I've been asking those like me – who I'm a fifth generation Floridian, my family has gone through numerous storms – to advise those that are new to Florida, please don't take this lightly."
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody held a press conference on potential price gouging before Hurricane Idalia's expected landfall. "One thing that we hear from folks, ‘We want to adhere to the warnings, but we're concerned that our property may be in jeopardy if we're not there,’ and that will not be a concern in Florida," Moody said."We are a law and order state. We will not take it lightly if folks are looting."
