Personnel from the USCG Station Destin stopped a 22‑foot deck boat leaving Crab Island to perform a boating safety inspection. The grossly overloaded vessel had 18 people onboard, including several pregnant women and small children. During the inspection, USCG personnel observed signs of impairment from the operator. The vessel was placed in hip-tow and escorted a short distance to Station Destin to ensure the safety of the people onboard. USCG personnel administered field sobriety tasks. Officer Ryan Nelson arrived to assist with the investigation. Based on USCG and Officer Nelson’s investigation, it was determined that the operator was under the influence of an alcoholic beverage. The operator was arrested for boating under the influence (BUI) and transported to the Okaloosa County Jail. At the jail, Officer Nelson administered a breath test to determine the alcohol content of the operator. The operator provided a breath sample that registered .181 on the first sample and .174 on the second sample. The operator was charged with BUI.
