MARTIN COUNTY — A jury has convicted a Palm City man of attempting to murder his girlfriend by drowning her, said Assistant State Attorney Nita Denton.
Tyler Mook, 35, of the 1000 block of Southwest All American Boulevard, was convicted Thursday of attempted second-degree murder stemming from an Oct. 4, 2014, incident. Mook was in a boat with his girlfriend, his brother and his brother's girlfriend, heading for the Stuart Sandbar, according to Denton and an arrest report.
An argument led to Mook throwing his girlfriend over the front of the boat and holding her down underwater near Sandsprit Park, according to Sheriff William Snyder.
He was arrested Dec. 13, 2014, on a warrant.
Mook's sentencing is scheduled for May 26, Denton said. His trial began Monday, and the jury began deliberations Wednesday.
In an unrelated case, Mook is a person of interest in the 2011 disappearance of his former wife, Shelley Mook. He is believed to have been the last person to see the Tennessee woman before she disappeared.
