NORTHWEST REGION
ESCAMBIA COUNTY
Officer Ben Pineda was working at a local boat ramp when he observed a man operating a vessel without lights as he returned to the ramp. As Officer Pineda continued to watch, the man almost hit the dock and was laughing about almost throwing a passenger out of the boat. Officer Pineda approached the man and detected indicators of impairment. The man performed poorly on field sobriety tasks and was arrested for BUI. He refused to provide a sample of his breath.
Investigator James Armstrong responded to a vessel accident on the Choctawhatchee River that occurred when a large sturgeon jumped out of the water and struck three of the five family members onboard. The family was trying to escape a rainstorm when the sturgeon leapt from the water, ejecting three of the occupants, and severely injuring a child. The child was airlifted to Sacred Heart Hospital where he remains in intensive care. The investigation is ongoing at this time.

The subject was found in possession of less than 20 grams of cannabis and drug paraphernalia. The subject was cited for not paying state park fees, possession of less than 20 grams of cannabis and drug paraphernalia.
