FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla. – The U.S. Coast Guard interdicted a 28-foot, twin outboard, go-fast boat Monday with 40, 15-gallon fuel containers and four persons onboard. The suspect vessel was spotted by a crew from Coast Guard Station Fort Myers Beach while on a routine patrol. The four individuals onboard the vessel were turned over to state authorities for further investigation regarding their suspected violation of a recently enacted Florida criminal law, which prohibits the transportation of fuel in certain containers onboard vessels. One individual onboard also had a warrant for his arrest from Miami-Dade County for assault and kidnapping. |
