When arrogance sails a little too far, the law reels it in. Here are five cases when entitled boat owners get humbled by cops. Number five, boat trouble on the road ends in felony charges. Deputies receive a report about a vehicle towing a boat at 10 mph in a 55 zone. Deputy Lane spots the truck with hazard lights on and initiates a traffic stop. Here's what unfolds when the deputy approaches 38-year-old Nolan. Shameless plug. While we're waiting for Nolan to stop, please consider subscribing. It really helps our channel grow. feel. Dragon got it inside the hand. See what happened before. Hello. Hi, I'm Deputy Lane with the sheriff's office. Yeah, how can I help you? Uh, so we got called to Sunshine Key about you and then on the way up there I saw you going 15 miles an hour and my hazards on, right? Okay, that's not legal. You can't do that. Can't do what? You can't drive that slow under the speed limit. It's a safety hazard. It's a safety hazard for you to be on the road driving that slow under the speed limit. Correct. Do you have your driver's license on? Sir, I need this land. Can we get it off this? I work here. Okay, fantastic. Good for you. I need your driver's license for what? Okay. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Unlock the car and get out now. Calm down. Get out of the car now. Calm down. I am. Come here. You You want to Hey, you want to try to grab me? Get out. My truck. My truck. You the truck into park. Yes, I am. Put it into park now. Put it into park now. Put it into park now. Is in park. Code 41 resistant. Put it in a park. Get out of the car. Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. Now put your hands behind your Put your hands behind. Stop pulling away from me. Stop pulling away from me. You're going to get tased. Stop pulling away from me. You're going to get tased. Despite Nolan's protests and his wife's attempts to explain. The deputy proceeds with detaining him. Stop. Stop. I am. Stop pulling away from me. You're going to get tased. It's in your back right now. pulling. Okay, stay right there. Okay, well, he needs to listen to what I tell him to do. Listen, did you see me? The glove box is even open. I was getting you. I was asking you, Ky. It says the new stop and shoulders. Okay. Yep. Please, please understand 23 code 51 10 other one. Please adjust the other way. My risk cannot spin it. Do you have anything on you that's going to stick me, poke me, hurt me? Uh, one pocket knife. Pocket knife. Uh, I'm good for now. If you if you can talk to her inside of the car. Why is she being rude? I'm not sure. Why is she being rude, too? Because I'm a law enforcement officer, and so is she. I have you in handcuff right now. Okay, but no need to be rude, is there? Greg, I have FWC with me as well. So, in the state of Florida, when you're told to identify yourself on a traffic stop by law enforcement, I did. Saying no when I say give me your driver's license is not complying. Say no. Do you have this on recording, please? Yes, it is on recording. Just like when I told you to step out of the car and you said no. I tried to open your door. You grabbed my hand and pushed me away. That's battery law enforcement. That's a felony. That's not exactly what I was doing. You grabbed my hand. That's felony. Oh my god. I was trying to put inside the vehicle with their children and a service dog. Nolan's wife tries to clarify the situation. Hello. Is there anyone else inside the car? Shoot. My children and our his service dog. Okay. My husband has a traumatic brain injury, so his ability to process information and respond effectively is impaired. I was going to try to see. I think his wallet is here in the boat. I was going to grab it. He has a brain injury card. I am his legal caregiver in addition to being his spouse. We were volunteering here at the park and it just became stressful because he was What's your name? Problem though is that when I tell someone to give me their ID and they say no, that's refusal to identify. Did he say no? He said no. He was driving. No, he was not. And then when I tell him to open the door and he says no, that's again refusing an order from Hold on, I'm talking. That's refusal to ident to identify himself and refusal to exit the vehicle, which is an order from law enforcement officer. Furthermore, when I reach inside the car to unlock the door and he grabs my hand, that's felony battery on law enforcement. Fourth, when I do finally get the car door open and he pushes me away, that's battery on law enforcement. He cannot touch me. Okay? It I don't I don't The brain injury that sucks. I'm very sorry for you and your family. He cannot touch me. He cannot refuse orders that I give to him. this illegal, lawful traffic stop. He's impeding the flow of traffic going 10 miles an hour on UF1. You cannot do that. He is correct. It is a safety hazard to do that. That's why I pulled him over. He can't do that. Okay. I apologize. Like I said, his response, his ability to know what to say in stressful moments is impaired because of the brain injury. He literally has missing pieces of his brain. And so when giving orders or whatever, his responses are often off. Like even when I'm asking him to do something or reminding him to brush his teeth even or things like that, even if he's planning to do it, his words don't come out the correct way. Explaining that her husband has difficulty processing pressure and doesn't always respond well to commands. So, I'm sure you know being in your career path, you've dealt with that like How old are the kids in the car? Uh, seven. Okay. Can you go back in the car and make sure they're okay? Yeah, absolutely. What are you doing back here? I was going to see if his wallet is in here. Yeah, you want me to grab his Yes, please, if you could. Thank you. His wallet is not in there, unfortunately. And I don't see it on the boat. Our camper is here if I need to go to the camper to get it. So, do you don't know who he is yet? No. Do you have a social? Yeah. You know his social? Yeah. All right. What is it? Hey, dude. All right. I'm going to open the door for a second to talk to you. But I don't want you to try to get out or do anything. Okay. Yes, sir. Is that your wife? Yes, sir. Look, I am very I was not trying to be combative. I have a slow thinking. She explain she explained that to me. Okay. All of a sudden, I realized I'm not an arc and I'm I wasn't trying to resist you. I was trying to let you, but yet and then we get out. When it finally got out, I promise you I was not trying to resist. Like I understand why you got back in the truck. That was probably for the best since you have kids in the car. Thanks very I've worked in the fire my whole life and I know exactly what y'all go through at that moment. I know exactly. Okay. You see me trying to jump back in. I want to thank you the highest for not pulling that trigger when I jumped back in. I know when the adrenaline starts pumping. Oh my gosh. Yes. My adrenaline was pumping. So So the main problem that I have though is you grab my hand and you push my arms away. You cannot do that today. I didn't mean to push you away. I was trying to to assure you that here you have my hand, but let me reach with the other hand and but I I can't think of how to say it. My adrenaline is pumping and I'm just like, here's one, but let me Inside the patrol car, Nolan continues to protest his case. Okay, I I really I swear to you, I' I've worked I want to join y'all so bad. I swear to you on God's hand. I put God all over my life ever since my accident. I swear to you, I was not trying to resist. I put my life in God's hand on that swear. I assure you, if there's any way I could prove that to you, I guarantee you I would. Okay. All right. No, I'm going to close the door real quick. Give me just one second. I'll come talk to you again. Yeah. Because this says this doesn't look 17 ft to me. Does this 17 ft? No, that's 24 at least. comes back. Come back with something else. So, I had to run the bin or the head. I'm sorry. What was your name again? So, unfortunately, I do have to take him to jail because he grabbed me. Okay. I could look past the initial refusal to give me his ID at first, and it I didn't I didn't give him 20 chances to do it, but if I tell someone to give me their ID and they say no or what for, I understand what you're saying. He was reaching for the glove box. Um I don't know that that's what he's looking for. or if he's telling me no or what do you need my ID for to me that's that's a no. That's I'm not giving it to you. Okay. The the the problem though is that when I tried to get him out of the car, he grabbed my hand. He pushed my hands away from him and then I'm trying to put him in handcuffs and he's pulling and turning away from me. Because of that, I have to take him to jail. Is there any way you could I have to take him to jail. Is there any way you could have the mercy in you to view it like someone with autism? you know that an autistic person would do something similar when someone's grabbing them. It's like an instinctive response because their mental if his mental capacity is so diminished that he doesn't know not to put his hands on a police officer, he should not have a driver's license. Okay. So either he is more mentally incapacitated than the state of whatever state his driver's license is out of knows uh or he's more intelligent than you're leading. The officer calmly explains the reason for the arrest and ensures Nolan's wife understands the consequences of his actions because either way, he's driving a car, so he's got to have at least like an ADIQ to be able to drive a car. So, if he's got that, I'm not sure what he should probably know to not to grab a police officer. I'm not sure what the testing was that they did. They've they've went through a a neuroscychologist, neuroscychiatrist, full um driving tests, like more than just the driving test that a teenager goes through to get their permit. And he was approved through that. But of course, in a class like that, it's not going to be a situation where an officer's trying to grab him out of the car. So, it's a a different thing to be in the moment. And like I said, you know, view it like a person with autism, like their initial response is to be like, "Someone's grabbing me. Oh my god, let go." So, if there's any chance you could please have I just talked to my sergeant. My sergeant said to take him to jail because he touched me. And listen, at the same time, I understand your perspective, but you also have to understand his perspective. But also with this instance, if he goes to jail, you also have the ability to go to court and argue that side of it. I understand that. I understand that, ma'am. But we still have to do our job. The incident occurred. Also, I have another issue with the boat. The registration for the vessel isn't coming back with the same thing as a hint. So, I was wondering if I can see the paper for that. Yeah. So, the registration Did you run her? Yeah, I added this. Okay. This it didn't come back to the same type of vessel. ID look I I understand I have to take him to jail. That ship has sailed. I have to take him. I I understand, you know, this this is hard. I don't I don't want to take someone to jail with a mental disability. But at the same time, if he's driving a car and I pull him over for a traffic violation, going 10 miles an hour in a 55 mph zone is a traffic violation. He can't do that. Still, she refuses to accept the officer's decision, passionately arguing in her husband's defense. That That's why That's why I pulled him over. When I tell the driver of a vehicle on a traffic stop to give me his driver's license, he has to give it to me. If I tell him to step out of the If I tell someone to step out of the vehicle under Pennsylvania versus NIMS, they have to step out of the vehicle. If they refuse, that is obstruction. I understand. I understand all of that. And I understand from your perspective, you have to protect yourself to get home to your own family and all of that. Trust me, I wish he didn't have a brain injury. I wish he didn't have those moments where he doesn't. I'm very sorry that your family has to deal with that, Catherine. But please, cuz this is something that's like you're basically putting me in jail, too. I'm not putting you in jail. You're still here. You can take the car and the boat, go back to your campsite. You can get him out tomorrow. We'll have first You You can Look, there there's ways in the court if he's actually got a brain injury, you could you able to Are you able to drive this back to your campsite? Probably not. Okay. Cuz the other thing we'd have to do is call a tow truck. Um I can probably get someone here in the park, one of our friends here. Yeah. This guy right here, I don't know if you know him, but why why was he going so slow? Because we drove from here, we were headed to Marathon to get gas in the boat. And as we were driving down the road, he realized that the trailer was like bouncing too much and he didn't feel safe driving it. So, he pulled over at that gas station. Go ahead. That's his items I was given to. She insists their slow speed was due to a trailer bouncing dangerously, making highway travel unsafe. They had even attempted to adjust the load at a nearby marina, but were turned away. Right at that gas station by the RV park, and we just wanted to be able to use their marina real quick to scoot the boat further forward on the trailer. Um, and one person told us, you know, no, it's a liability reason to use it. So, he tried like kind of break checking the boat to scoot it forward. He tried cranking it with everything he could to get it forward. and he felt nervous to get on the road with it. And then he went in and talked to the management and they were just trying to explain to him that it was liability. He said that he would be happy to pay as a guest in order to be able to use the boat ramp. And they were trying to, you know, tell him there were boat ramps a mile up one direction and a couple miles back the other direction. And so then they had called for an escort to bring him back here. and he was just stressed and flustered and just kind of decided to get on the road. Okay. And try to go slow coming back here to cuz when I was heading up there, I saw you guys. I don't you probably saw me pass you when you were heading south. And then when I pulled in there, he the manager there said that he was not very nice to them, that he flicked them off and that he was very rude. um he's he just got extremely stressed and worried about driving the boat and he was frustrated that he couldn't just use the ramp to scoop the boat forward and I tried apologizing to the management there and explaining you know that he has a brain injury so normal things that would stress anyone amplify with him or more stressful for him and um when we saw you pull off here we kind of thought maybe you were helping escort us the rest of the way to the boat range Um, which is why he didn't pull off initially and stopped to talk to you. Yeah. I just couldn't pull you guys over on US1 because the construction site and I he started that turn. So, I didn't want to try to stop him in the middle of the road when there was cars coming. So, I waited till you guys were in here to pull him over. It I I I wouldn't have even given him a ticket. I was just going to tell him that he was driving slow and he can't drive that slow on US1. The deputy explains that the situation could have been avoided if Nolan had simply cooperated from the beginning. He assures them that the body cam footage will clearly show how events unfolded. And all I needed was his driver's license. You can like modify the report to where he's falling out of the vehicle and he grabbed you to brace himself. Not grab I'm not going to I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to perjure myself or someone I don't know. I'm going to watch my body camera and handcar camera and I'm going to go word for word and action for action. When I write the report, I will document in there. How are you telling me that has a brain injury? Uh what was that caused by? Um a motor vehicle motorcycle accident. We were heading to dinner one night and a vehicle from another direction took a lefthand turn in front of us. He actually wasn't supposed to even live and then they weren't sure if he was going to be paralyzed or what sort of function he was going to have and he's made amazing progress. Um but there's still, you know, those deficits just like if you lost a limb, there's things that are difficult. He lost a a chunk of his brain. So, okay. Certain things are difficult. Am I able to give him um his anxiety medicine before he goes? They have all the medicine down there. As long as he knows the name of it, they'll be able to supply it to him. He's not going to know the names. Can I give you like a list or something? Can I write? Yeah, I can uh I can take a picture of it. Nolan is ultimately transported to jail without further incident. His wife is left to manage the children and vehicle and to coordinate with friends at the park for help. Number four, mother arrested for boating drunk with infant in tow. A woman is stopped by deputies while boating at night on Nippersink Lake because her vessel is missing the required navigation lights. The deputies immediately notice signs of impairment when they approach the boat. As far as your speech and your movements and the odor of alcoholic beverage on your breath, I think uh we might have an issue here, but I want to run some tests on you and make sure we're okay. If that's the case, see my hand here? Yep. When I tell you to, what I want you to do, I want you to count like this. 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 And continue doing it until I tell you to stop.

She remains cooperative as she's walked up the dock and assisted in securing her baby safely. over here. Can you take your purse off camera, please? Right over here. Okay, so here's where we're at tonight. Okay, I talked to the other deputies. Apparently, you are under arrest for OUI is what I was made to understand. Okay, for operating the boat in the ins. There is no one else on that boat right now. None of those three adults are capable of driving or taking the baby. Okay, they're all intoxicated. Okay, so here's what I need you to do. I need you to come up with a person that can come that is sober that can take the baby. Okay? Cuz if I don't have that option, I have to by law calls and I'm not wanting to do that. Okay. But I that's what I have to do if I don't have an option. So do you have somebody you can call? Yeah. Somebody you said you have a car seat in the boat that the baby can go in. Yeah. Perfect. And you have your phone here? Yeah. Okay. Go ahead and make that call, please. I'll give you the address where we're at. Okay. And they can come and they can even pick you up, too. You need anything from me right now? Trying to think. If it was his step or She then agrees to call a family member to care for the child while she's away. So, do you have an ID on here?

There should be the paper copy in there, too, cuz I just went yesterday. Um, okay. So, your little one can go. Do I only have one call or as many calls you need? Do me a favor. Can you put your baby in here for now? Okay. Because I'm a little concerned. Why do Because your grip isn't really good right now. She's fine. And I don't want anything to happen to her. Okay. So, just do me a favor. Let's lay her right in here. Okay. Fine. 5472 from 5470. You have a Jonathan me there. 5472 one by 5471 by name and date of birth. Okay. Can you After providing the pickup address, she waits calmly as the situation is managed. That's not very happy. [Music] Can you say the address again? So par same parking. Oh, I know where they are. Sorry. I drive past it every day when we go to our house. They pulled us over because we didn't have green red lights on even though we had when we left from Anyway, I thought we had green light on. Yeah. Okay, thank you. All right, love you. Bye. Where are they coming from? Okay, you're fine. Meanwhile, officers formally place her under arrest and issue three citations. First of all, let me give you your driver license back. Okay. Or the temporary one. Just barely cuz it's my birthday on Sunday. Okay. So, we stop you because you are operating the because they didn't have lights on. Do they have the navigation lights on? and they were on but we they were not on. I know they were not on when we checked when we left port they were on. So maybe maybe when you left port they was on. I don't know anything about that. Up to up to you. When when I stopped you the lights were not on. Okay. So for that you're going to get a citation for for operating a panon with no navigation lights when required. Okay. When we did was dangerous but okay. when I agree with you on that one. I agree with you on that one 100%. Especially with a baby on board like that. Mhm. So after we stopped you, we did the safety inspection on the vessel and we found that the battery terminals were not covered. They supposed to be covered with a rubber cap to prevent my husband. Okay, I will accordingly. I agree with you. Okay, that's going to be your second citation. Okay. And then the most important one based on our observation I think you are operating the pontoon under the influence of alcohol. Okay. Under what? Okay. We we passed that point. So that's going to be your third citation. Okay. But you don't have we asked you to provide the breath sample and we refused. Okay. We have other means to determine if somebody is under the influence of alcohol and we did. Do you remember doing some tests on the boat when my partner asked you to do something? Okay. So, that's going to be your citation for operating a boat under the influence of alcohol. You have a mandatory court date. They need to show up and that's going to be October 16, 9:00 in the morning. You have the address checked, right? She's then informed of her mandatory court appearance and handed documents outlining the citations and results of the boat safety inspection. You have the time. I see that you're pointing to that but okay. So tomorrow look at it again and you will see the address the time and the location for the court appearance. Okay. Okay. And you also get a copy of everything that I read to you. All your rights as a as operator of a watercraft and the suspension that's happening because you refused to provide the bread sample. All these are your copies. Okay. Including a copy of the safety inspection that we did on the vessel. Okay. So, I'm going to put everything in an envelope so you can have them tomorrow. Okay. Okay. Do you have any questions for me right now? Just wanted to be in bed an hour or two ago. She was ultimately issued citations for three violations. No navigation lights, exposed battery terminals, and the most critical, boating while intoxicated. Number three, what lying to Florida wildlife officers could cost you. Officers with Florida Fish and Wildlife pull alongside a small vessel cruising through a no wake zone at full speed. Here's what happens next. We're going to come up beside you. Okay. Okay. You know why we're talking to you right now? That's correct. Hang tight there for a second. Appreciate it. All right, guys. All right, so I'm officer boat with FWC. The reason we stopped you is cuz it's a idle speed zone all the way through here, right? You guys were on plane, correct? Right. All right. Is it your boat, sir? Yes. Do you have your license and registration for the vessel? his uh grandson. We got phone call from his dad. He's got to get him back. Okay. Give me my medical. Yep. Well, yeah. Now, uh let me see. I think I might have. Okay. Where are you guys fishing today? Just uh out to the locally around to follow. Yeah, we just give him a boat ride. Did you guys catch anything? No, we just any guns or anything in there? No, I got those. All right, sir. I'm going to strike your cru and we're going to give you a warning for this. Okay. As long as you have two life jackets on board. You want to pop this open for me? this up. Yep. Cool. The cooler. Yeah. Nothing. Wow. Anything in that one up there? Want to show it to me? Nothing up there either. Nothing in this live wall back here. No, that was a that was fake fake oil. They the officers decide to conduct a search of the boat, opening coolers and storage compartments to check for anything suspicious. Sweet. Under the buckets over here. Anything in there? No. And this here. What's that? Looks like fish to me, buddy. [Applause] So when I asked if there was fish on board, what' you tell me? Yeah, you did. You see the issue here? You're way over. You're under [Applause] like three mism so far. Oh, don't forget interference. I'm going to check the rest of the boat. Fishing license. I'm going to check those. Sir, I'm going to need to see your ID as well. When they discover fish on board, the focus of the stop shifts. Now the officer asks for fishing licenses and identification. You got my ID? I got yours. I'm talking about the other gentleman. Sir, you have your driver's license? I do. Thank you. I'm just going to push this out. You got a crab trap, right? Yeah, we're we're in neutral. Okay. All right. I'm going to check the rest of the boat. Is this your fishing license? Yeah. Do you have your fishing license? I'm uh 71. You know, if you're 71, you still can't poach. Back up over here. Have you move over here? Okay, thank you. Am I going to find anything else on this boat that's illegal or should not be on here? Am I going to find anything else on this boat? No, ma'am. No. George, 71, claims his age exempts him from some regulations, but the officers clarify that the law applies regardless. Put these over We want When was the last time you guys went to jail? Went to jail? Yeah, sir. When was the last time you got arrested? The last time I got arrested was probably about eight or nine years ago. Okay. I wasn't found guilty. Okay. That's awesome. When measured, most of the fish turn out to be undersized sea trout and the total number exceeds the legal bag limit. 4:30. Yeah. They're too legally sized. The rest are short and they're over the back of my Have either of you guys got in trouble with FWC before? No. No. We got I mean we're had a good bill of health. A good what? A bill of health. I mean no problems, no trouble. No, you know, until now. Until now. You haven't been caught before. Right. Well, no, I was mean if you know the record. Yeah. Record. Well, now you're going to have a record. Now record. Yeah. Now you're going to have one. There's one thing we don't tolerate. If you wouldn't stray with me from the game, we have short ones. Probably wouldn't have been that big of a deal, but the fact that you lied and then you tried to cover it up in front of me over there. Now we have an issue. Yes, ma'am. Now I'm hitting you. Now I'm hitting you with everything. Well, I could take you to jail right now. I understand that. That's a bad example to set. You're right. You're right. Because the men tried to mislead the officers, they're now facing more than just fishing violations. You're right. Yep. All right. So, the citations you guys are going to get, they're all going to be for court appearances. Okay. We'll set the same court date on them. She's going to tentatively set a court date within about 30 days. All right. Uh you'll get notifications probably about a week about it. If you don't, there's going to be a phone number at the bottom of the citation for you to call. Okay. Uh if you do not show up to court, warrants gonna be issued for your arrest. Okay. All right. So, the citations you're going to be getting, first one is going to be interference with an FWC officer. All right. Okay. It's because you guys lied. All right. Uh next one is going to be for undersiz uh sea trout and then over the bag limit. What else? Anything else? Nope. those and then you'll be receiving civil citations uh which are just uniform voting citations for blowing the slow speed zone, not having the registration on board and then improper display of your registration numbers. All right. Improper improper display. You're supposed to have a 2-in spacing between the end of FL, the start of the numbers, the end of your numbers, and then your last two letters. I never was aware of that. It's listed on your registration. Oh, okay. Yes. I mean, like I said, I mean, I when I uh when I got the vote, you know, that's how I did and I' I've been inspected before and they never mention anything, so I I didn't know. We turn into sticklers when people start lying to us. Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, I'm sorry. It's okay. I don't take it personally, you know, but I'm going to get we we get very very technical. I could understand. Yeah. Do you have a type fourth robel on board? A lot. a type four throwable. Looks like a little seat cushion with handles on it. Uh, all right. Because there's not one immediately available on deck, that could be another $143 citation because of an improper carriage requirement. That's what you're talking about. Yep. So, it's required to be out and on deck. Equipment checks reveal further problems. The boat lacks a child-sized life vest, and there's no throwable flotation device readily available. Both required by law. Whether that gets written or not is going to be up to Officer Booth. Do you have a child-siz life jacket on board? Can I see that please? 7420 103 28 7420 How much you weigh buddy? 60 lbs. Okay. So that's not the correct size. What does that go up to? 30 to 50 pounds. What is the uh bag limit on? Seriously? Seriously, they change frequently. No, they don't. Do you have a cell phone? Yeah, I do. Is it connected to the internet? Yeah. That'd be a really good thing for you to look up right now. So, also at pretty much every marina you can get a little pamphlet for fish rules, right? You can look online. There's like multiple applications for it. So, I'm giving you a citation for blowing the speed zone, right? So, it's $140 citation there. Um, I'm also charging for over the bag limit, undersized, and I did the same for you as well. And I charge you both for interference. Okay. Do we have any questions about that? All right. Okay. So, I have to have you um sign each of these copies of what is the what's going to be the fine for that or they'll set up a court date and the judge will decide that part. We'll have to go to court. Yes. Yeah. They'll contact you like um at the number at the bottom call to set up a court date with them and then uh just make sure you do that and I'll do it this week. Okay. Each man is cited for interference with an officer in addition to charges for possessing undersized fish and going over the legal limit. All right. So, I just have to use sign here that you understand that you're going to get it taken care of. Okay. Yes, ma'am. Where I sign? Right over here. Let me put my glasses. Okay. And Stephen, the same thing for you. Contact that number at the bottom. They'll set up a court date for you. And do you understand the charges today? Yeah, I do, but I I've just I don't know where I interfered, but whatever. Oh, you're an adult. And you want to ask when there's fish on the board boat? You could have said, "Yeah, correct." Yes. Okay. But we're on the same page. All right. And this is your citation for um the going the speed zone if you just sign there. Okay. I'll give you guys copies of this so you have all that information. And these are your guys IDs and copies for both of those. Okay. Thank you. That to you. Okay. Well, I hope you guys have a better day. Did I get a copy? Yep, they're all in there. All your guys' copies are in there. Okay. And make sure you call that number on the bottom to set up your court date. Okay. Well, we'll probably have to call first thing Monday morning. Yep. I'll call in and to tell them what happened. They might say call back in a couple days cuz I have to mail those out. So, all right. Any questions before we pull away? All right. On top of those charges, both receive civil boating citations that include operating in a no wake zone, not having the vessel registration on board, and improper display of registration numbers. Both men later enter a misdemeanor intervention program, and the cases are closed without further escalation. Number two, man caught drunk driving a yacht worth $700,000. A man is stopped by officers after his boat comes dangerously close to a swim course during a sanctioned race. A Coast Guard helicopter and two boats attempt to intercept him before he finally stops. I know that they're doing their separate thing. I'm going to go through a resource inspection. Okay. So, Officer Pearson for Fish and Wildlife, I see that you have um uh tails. So, do you have to do anything with you have to do anything with him? Uh uh we'll do the safety stuff and we're going to issue a violation for the violation of the capital. Okay. Absolutely. A month or two ago by the coastard. That's good. We're we're going to do another one. I apologize for this. I was doing auto guidance and I'll never do that again. Auto guidance is not necessarily a bad thing. It's just you can't you got to make sure they're looking ahead and at what's coming up on you. You know, when you see all these boats, it should it should raise some red flags in your in your head. You're like, "Okay, well, what's going on?" You know, and especially with a helicopter overhead and I know, but I understand. I'm just saying like that there there's a broadcast going on for a reason. So again, the autopilot, the not not maintaining a proper lookout. And I you get you get kind of numb to those broadcast, right? I get it. I get it. No, I listen to That's why we have sometimes I listen to Spanish ones when I come over. You have your driver. You have his driver. You have your driver's license. Yeah, he is.

Um I I know he's I asked him for his decals, like his oil pollution stuff. And he he literally handed me a rag. Hand you a rag? Yeah. And then it took me 5 minutes to explain to him that it wasn't a sticker. During the inspection, officers also notice empty beer cans on deck and suspect the man might be impaired. So, I don't know. I I didn't find any like or anything. I don't know if it's like a combination of both. Okay. They're uh I mean, we're going to terminate them, but I mean, I don't know what you guys think as far as like stuff. We'll check it out. All right, Cap. So, we have So, we have um I see I see some violations. Okay. So, before before I ask you any more questions, I'm going to read you your rights. All right. so we're on the same page. Okay. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

If you wish, if you consent to answer these questions now without a lawyer present, you will still have the right to stop answering any questions at this time.

I get it. Okay. The fourth task is to open your hands with palms down and place them on your lap. So, after you're finished, determined to try again after failing the first time, the man gives it another shot. Will he finally get it right? Let's find out. This is like, have you done this? I have to to do this, sir. You you want to try it again or No, I'm going to try it again. I'm going to keep trying. I mean, I've had like three beers from Biminy in 3 hours now. I went out last night. I'm not going to give you, but um put my watch in the pocket. We're going to do this really well. So, one, two, three, four. I have to count my positions. No one can pass that, man. I've been living down here my whole life. I haven't done anything wrong. These tests are so hard. Can I try the test again? It's all right, sir. We'll move on. Okay. Problem is Carlo can't drive. I'm only had three drinks and I can't even feel going home. Hi, sir. I haven't even cleared customs. This is so difficult. I own it. All right, sir. So I I am going to place you under arrest fine for operating your vessel while impaired. Okay, Maria, take pictures of me being handrested. What happened? I'm getting arrested. Eventually, the officers determine he's impaired and place him under arrest for boating under the influence. Uh yes, ma'am. Yes, he almost he he there was a helicopter trying to stop him with two vessels alongside trying to stop him from entering an area where we have swimmers for a sanctioned race. He nearly almost ran uh in the in the course where the swimmers were going. So after we stopped him, we saw that uh we uh USCG Coast Guard uh Coast Guard boarded his vessel and we then proceeded to go through a resource inspection because he had um lobster tails on the on on board. Um, I saw that he had a bunch of uh um alcoholic beverages on the deck of the boat. So, I went and did an investigation and he was in I found that he was impaired. So, so that this this this what's going to happen right now. The man is charged with and transported to Plantation Key Jail. Number one, this guy literally jumped shipped to avoid getting arrested. Officers stop a man operating a boat with no ID or registration paperwork. The man, who identifies himself as Anthony, or AJ, claims the boat belongs to a friend and says he was just taking it out casually. As officers begin checking for violations, they discover that AJ might have an outstanding warrant. It came in this morning. We got towed in. That's what we're looking for. It was over here. We had to go meet the cutter way out. Neither of you have IDs. Who's This is uh I work on the Gulf Stream Key West. Um this is one of our other mates, Ethan. His trailer got towed the other day, so he tied it up behind our house. We live right there at so it's just been there, so we kind of popped out. I didn't realize What is your first name? AJ or Anthony. And then do you know the registration for this? Do you have it on board? Unless it's in here. Like I said, it's not my boat. Well, that's because you're operating a vessel. Okay, perfect. How about that? Let's see if Ethan Phillip cook. I thought you were looking for a chub. Well, we weren't until we saw you had violations on the on the water. Sure did. Hopefully in order. Like I said, he told me I was good to take his boat out. So, catching people. We are. You have a crime on the water. I don't know what your attitude is, but just relax. Yeah. And then obviously we're addressing violations that we address. Okay. You're still on the water. You are arguing with us. Is that why you're freaking out? What? You got a warrant? I don't know. Is that why you're freaking out? I'm not freaking out about anything. You are my vote. My point is is like usually when people start acting like that, it's cuz they got a warrant. Do I have one? Well, that's what she's saying. You're wanted. Yeah. You have a warrant. I don't know. That's what I'm asking. Okay. Can you send the confirmation? No. Thank you. You have a protection order? No, I have a child I have a child support like through my job, but I have I don't like I pay my stuff. I talk to my kids. But I'm just asking a protection order pretty much is is that you can't be with certain person. Despite several attempts to calm him down, AJ grows more agitated and talks over the officers. Okay, you're She's not Dana, so don't worry about that. Just find out if it's confirmed. Hey, listen. You have a warrant and they're going to confirm it. All right. I don't know what for what. What's in your hand? Okay, cool. My question is is this. Are you going to fight me or are you going to run? So, you tell me this. Are you about to take me to jail? Probably. Then like for real, we wait for the confirmation. Look, I didn't do nothing wrong. I'm not saying you did. Listen. Hey, look at me. Don't add another charge. I don't want to go to jail on a Sunday and I can't do nothing. Well, hey, listen. It's better because at least Monday. Yes, it is. Because at least it's not Friday. Okay. And listen, look at me. Regardless, Anthony, look at me. Regardless, I still have to do my job. But don't add another charge and have to stay in longer. All right. It's not worth it. You're right. But no, I don't have any warrants that I know about. Okay. Other than other than what? If you look listen, I am listening. I'm not trying to add another charge. I'm not trying to do nothing. I was not doing nothing wrong. We were in our backyard. So, if I jump in the water and swim away right now, what's going to happen? I'm going to follow you and we're going to say that you're running and that's fleeing and looting. Am I running right now or am I in my backyard? Because you haven't told me I'm under arrest or I have a warrant. So, right now, if I jump in the water and then you're fleeing and the looting. I'm telling you. Listen what we're saying. You are not free to leave. You are not free to leave. I don't have anything that I did wrong. It doesn't matter. You are detained right now. You are being detained. If you plead to lude, it's a thirdderee felony or it's actually a first degree felony. You're telling me you're taking me to jail today regardless if the warrant comes back. Yes. So, can you talk to me first? Like because right now you're like trying to I feel attacked right now and like I'm way on the other boat. I'm just holding the boat. AJ, look at me. Please just sit down and let them finish this whole thing without freaking out. Without freaking out. Yes, I understand. This is stressful. I'm stressed for you and with you, but please, you're making it worse. Yeah, man. Please. Officers repeatedly warn him that he's not free to leave and that fleeing would result in felony charges. I didn't do nothing wrong. You don't even know I'm a could be Ethan Cook right now, right? Oh my god. Shut up. Like, come on. Like, I'm just saying like like why? Like, do you really feel like I need to go to jail today? It's not my feeling. It's not our choice. It's not We don't We're not charging you. If you have a warrant, then legally our job is we have to take you to jail. Well, if you go Listen, if you jump in the water and swim away, you're adding a felony. So, but you don't know yet, right? No, I don't know. You don't know yet if I'm wanted, right? I don't know. But you're not free to leave. I'm telling you right now. You are being detained. 942 marathon. I need 94 if you can. Anybody on land? He's threatening to jump in the water. I'm not fighting. I'm not saying you're fighting me. You're doing that. Just asking question. I'm not doing that. Stop. I'll deal with it the right way. When I can have a lawyer take me to court and like do it. Not because what is he saying? Stop. Like like come on guys, for real. Why do you want to take me to jail? I don't want to take you to jail. I know I have something that I need to handle and I can't That's not how that works, unfortunately. Like, it's just not how it works. I'm sorry. I understand it's frustrating. I understand no one wants to hear those words. We get it. We're not So, y'all are y'all are just going to leave her by her own if I go swim away. No. If anything, listen. You see what I'm saying right now, Anthony? It's not fair. This is not fair. This isn't like a bartering thing. That's I'm not trying to barter with you. Stop talking. They were looking for me. Shut the up. They're telling me they're going to take you to jail unless they tell them it's a warrant. Stop talking. The protection has nothing to do with it. The protection order is completely different. Whenever I was asking about the protection order, I was trying to make sure you weren't with the person that you were with the protection order. That has nothing to do with it. Anthony, bro, like you're trying to take like I work here. I live here. I'm local. Why? Like I didn't do nothing wrong, man. Understandation. You want to take me to jail instead of telling me, "Hey, AJ, figure it out and take care of it tomorrow." Like that's how you do with somebody that you work here with. You're trying to take me to jail and sayowed They're not trying to do anything right now. You just won't stop running your mouth. But they said they don't know about Stop talking, please. Despite his girlfriend's efforts to get him to comply, he continues to behave like this. I understand it's frustrating. I'm not saying it's not frustrating. I understand. I'm sorry you're feeling this way. But from our job, we cannot speak to someone. Okay, deal with it later. That's just I understand. I understand. So, the question that I asked initially wasn't that. Listen, Anthony. Tell me you can't. Okay, we already So either you jump in the water and you flee police regardless. F3 plus the warrant, right? So now I have two warrants. And then if you resist, that's another one. I'm not resisting you. I'm not saying that. I'm saying, can you please stop talking? I'm about to stop talking. No, you're not. You haven't done that for like 20 minutes. So listen, what I'm saying is is this. When I put handcuffs on you, if you resist me, that's another charge. I'm not saying you are. I'm trying to give you put Hey, listen. God gave you two ears and one mouth to listen twice as good, right? So, listen to what I'm saying. I don't want to add charges onto this. You could be out tomorrow morning, right? Your bond could be like 500 bucks and you're literally out as soon as you get there. Does that make sense? My point is, listen, man. Look at me. I can even tell you. Let me see. I'll show I'll look it up for you. Listen, man. You got violations on the water. That's That's that. All right. Number two, your bond is going to be $3,000 because it's 30,000 total. You pay 10%. It says uh to destroy tarpon bond uh photo and science bond something tarpon hook line and gear bond. Something about tarpon cruel death or excessive or repeated infliction on unnecessary pain and suffering. to be driven to the place tomorrow. No, it is not. Listenable. No, it's not the offense. It's the warrant. So, the warrant regardless because we are here now, we have to take him to jail. But if you have $3,000, you can bail him out as soon as he gets in or you can get a bail bondsman and then as long as you show up to court. Tension builds quickly. AJ starts questioning the officers, asking if he's under arrest and debating what would happen if he jumped in the water. But I'm going to I'm going to swim home right now. Okay. Well, I'm going to follow you. Stop. You can listen. I don't have the $3,000 to get out today. AJ, I swear to God, I will be gone tomorrow if you don't. If they take me to jail and I let them take me. No. If you go in there, it's worse. It is worse. You're adding a thirdderee felony. You're adding a felony on top of that. You're not going to have any money. You will never be able to get a notice to appear. Like, you're screwing yourself legally for a long time if you do that. This is not worth it. The judge exactly not going to help you. It is not going to help you. You're going to end up screwing yourself. Notice to appear. All right. What is your password for your phone?

Give it to me. I'm sorry. What is it? I can't help you. Listen, just get back on your boat. You can give me the F3, but look, I'm going to go home. You're not taking me to jail today. Well, you're gonna add resisting because I'm going to stop you from resisting. I'm not resisting unless you tell me to stop. Jesus, EJ, stop. Listen, you're telling me I'm resisting and I'm not. You are cuz I'm telling you to come here. You can give me the other charge. Give me the other charge and tell them I swam away. Give me the code. I need it. I can't help. Radio and tell him he's trying to leave. You can tell him I'm trying to leave. That's fine. I don't have phone number. 942 marathon. The subject is fleeing. I don't have any way to do anything. AJ, I am gone after this. I'm telling you. He's also resisting without violence. I'm leaving. I can't. I don't know how to drive a boat. We will be right back. We'll be right back. I'm sorry. She needs help. We will be right back. She's angry. Then you should have made the decision to sit with your girlfriend if you're worried about her cuz she's angry right now. You're leaving her. Think about that. Officers immediately radio in that he's fleeing and resisting and track his movement as he swims like a fish toward shore. You are being selfish right now. Stop. Stop. Do not put this on anyone else. You are projecting and displacing blame. Stop. Grow up. Stop. You're being emotional. You're letting your emotions get the best of you, dude. Charges. It's not that deep, dude. It's not that deep. Okay, how about you come this way and he's trying to swim to land. I don't think he's going to make it, but we Yeah, he literally jumped off the boat and trying to swim. We might be able to get him in the boat, but he's being absolutely ridiculous. Um, so we're literally right What? Yeah, just in case he does make I mean, he's swimming like a fish towards White Street Pier. Go help. That's fine. That's cool. We're just going to wait for you. Yeah, please. Sounds good. Are you kidding me? Yeah, you're the one that did that. Don't blame me for your Yes, you did. We just told you three times, dude. Just Dude, just sit back. Let him tire himself out. He's an idiot. Put your the lights on. Are the lights on? Turn the lights on. She's anchored. She's anchored. No, she's not. Yes, she is. I literally saw the anchor. There's no anchor on the boat. So, how what's the line? What is the line going to the bottom of the ocean at your bow? There's no anchor on that boat right now. She's bursting away. What? Out of control. The only one out of control right now is you. I don't understand how you don't see that. They gave me two charges. We We offered for you to not have that be the case. I don't understand why you're act like we chose to do that. I understand this is emotional, but you're literally making it so much worse than it has to be. And I don't get it. The warrant's not Tell me it's already that the warrant's not going to go away. You have to deal with it. So, I don't understand why you're adding this to make yourself like your life more difficult. It just it I don't understand. I don't. And now she's going to be very upset with you. And it's just not worth it. I don't understand. Like I Yeah, I understand it's frustrating, but man, it's not worth it. I'm just waiting for Meanwhile, AJ's girlfriend is left behind on the anchored boat. Officers express concern since she doesn't know how to operate it and AJ has now stranded her and we will go get her. But you're the one who left her there. You do realize that, right? Why would we believe you? Just curious. You You're literally swimming to shore offshore to avoid what's inevitably going to happen and leaving her. So I I don't get it. And then we'll go help her. Yeah. I don't know. A warrant. A warrant. Yeah. Honestly, this is just ridiculous for us. You don't have to apologize to us. You're hurting yourself at the end of the day. And I don't think she gonna be too thrilled with you after this. No one No one is going to run over you. I can guarantee that. Somebody might run over her. She's in a boat. I didn't say that. You're literally trying to blame us for quote leaving her out there. I'm not. You are. We would have towed her in. And if you just did what you were supposed to do, we would have towed her in with us and she wouldn't be out there right now. Fun fact. Dude, if you got in the boat, we could go help her. What aren't you comprehending? Seriously, what aren't you comprehending? I'll give up. That's not how that works. Okay. And we got like five units on land and we're going to watch them get about this whole day. So, we're going to keep doing that. What? And that'd be on you. So, I hope you sleep great later. Yeah. From a distance, officers comment on the absurdity of the situation. They stressed that AJ turned a simple detention into a felony arrest. How many times will you explain the situation to you? Do you just not comprehend basic English? Got my coming out here or what? You done? How deep we got? I'm just gonna hop up. Are you down or what? Seriously, this is this is ridiculous. We're done. We're done. We're done. What did you think was going to happen? Seriously, what did Dude, stop. I'm done. I'm done. I'm all right then. Figure it out. Stop moving then. Hey, I'm not. Stop.

You're just being an idiot. I don't know. Get I don't get why. I really don't. That's not an option. What are you comprehending? I understand it's frustrating you, but that's this ain't going to help you. Go to jail. I guess. Yeah, but guess what? You're not avoiding it. So, I don't know why you're putting up on this. Okay, hold on. Walk. You made it all this way. What's another 20 ft? Right. Just walk. Come on. Come on. You're fine. You're literally fine. You're going to drag me. Yeah, we will if you don't keep walking. Once on shore, AJ is intercepted and taken into custody. He's visibly exhausted and no longer resisting. [Music] Are you guys crazy? Then he was just like down. I'm like, "Yeah, this way shallow water." Well, yeah. Cuz we And then he obviously like also holding him and walking all the way in. I was like, "Dude, we got to go help his girlfriend, though, cuz she's she can't run a boat and she's literally sitting out there. He refused to cooperate and decided to leave her there." No, he's just I think his relationship survived this mess. Let us know what you think in the comments. So, the next time you think the rules don't apply on the water, think again.
