Family Shocked After Police Arrest Him On Party Boat

On June 28, 2024, at approximately 6:30 p.m., Officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission were conducting a marked vessel patrol on the east side of Crab Island in Destin, Florida, within Okaloosa County. The officers on patrol included Officer Steven Ates, Officer Ashley Pritchard, and Officer Theodore Mursch.
During the patrol, a 2012 Pontoon vessel with registration FL5908BH was observed being operated by an individual identified as a Louisiana resident. The operator was found to be violating the idle speed zone. A safety stop was conducted, during which the officers observed signs of impairment from the operator.
Field sobriety tasks were administered, and based on training, experience, and personal observations, the officers determined that the individual was in actual physical control of the vessel while under the influence of alcohol and/or a chemical substance to the extent that normal faculties were impaired.
At 7:05 p.m., the operator was read the implied consent notice from a prepared text and declined to provide a breath sample. As a result, no breath alcohol concentration (BAC) sample was recorded, and the refusal was documented.
The individual was subsequently charged with the relevant citations and transported to the Okaloosa County Jail without further incident.
