TAMPA BAY, Fla. - Here are five things you need to know happening in Florida on Monday, November 14.

Commercial fisherman John Yates is scheduled to be sentenced in federal court on Monday for illegally possessing undersized red grouper.

In August a jury found the 59-year-old Holmes Beach man guilty of disposing of evidence to prevent seizure and destroying evidence to impede or obstruct a federal investigation. Yates was found not guilty of lying to a federal agent.

Yates faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison.

According to the original indictment, deputized officers of NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service boarded Yates' fishing vessel in federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico on May 5, 2010. The agents reported finding 72 undersized red grouper.

The officers instructed Yates to leave the fish onboard and report back to shore so the fish could be seized. NOAA says Yates instead had his crew throw the fish overboard.

The sentencing is scheduled for federal court in Ft. Myers.
