DUI Lawyer Charged with Drunk Boating
June 4, 2015
The lawyer was driving “Naut Guilty”, a 29-foot powerboat, when a 19 year old woman passenger jumped overboard to retrieve a seat cushion. As the young woman struggled to get back on-board, her arm was cut off just above the elbow by the propeller. The DUI lawyer tested over the legal limit, even after a four hour waiting period, and is being held on $75,000 bail for drunk boating. While the story is shocking, it serves to remind boaters that the hobby can turn from adventure into disaster quickly, especially when alcohol is involved. Safe boating procedures ensure that everyone has an enjoyable experience while on the water.
