CAPE CORAL, Fla — A Cape Coral woman who was arrested in October of 2024 and charged with trying to sell a boat that wasn't hers on Facebook Marketplace, was found guilty of trespassing.
However, prosecutors dropped grand theft, fraud, and false title charges against Diana Morganthal.
In August, she pleaded no contest to the trespassing charge and Lee County Judge Bruce Kyle found her guilty and sentenced her to 307 days in jail.
When she was arrested in 2024, Cape Coral Police say Morganthal had been ordered to stay off a property in southeast Cape.
Police say a neighbor saw her in the yard, standing next to a boat with someone, and they thought something was wrong, so they called police.
Police said in 2024 that Morganthal listed the boat and trailer on Facebook Marketplace - even though neither belonged to her. But in August, prosecutors decided not to move forward with grand theft, fraud, or false title charges against her.
