"Teen Admits To Putting Piano On Miami Sandbar"

STEVE INSKEEP, host:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep with the story of an artist at sea.

Nicholas Harrington is 16. His family owned a piano, which was trashed at a holiday party in South Florida. Mr. Harrington and three other people lifted the ruined piano onto a boat. They set up the piano on a sandbar in Biscayne Bay. Fish and Wildlife officials acknowledge the teenager was expressing his artistic side. But the family had to remove the piano to avoid criminal charges for dumping.

It's MORNING EDITION.
