Man accused of ramming boat on Lake St. Clair charged with OWI

The little boat appears to be a vigilante at best. Its still assault and I would have prepared to defend.
 
maybe the woman on board the big boat was the wife of the skipper of the small boat and the guy caught them at " offshore drilling" ?
 
Could likely be charged with a felony but that is going to be up to the DA

Now this is a new twist..... it's the ex wife and he saw his old boat (lost in the divorce) tossing him in the wake. She is pushing his buttons one last time!

No way...Look at the evidence....If that was an ex-wife, she'd be screaming with more gestures...Further she'd try and sink the small boat... It's more likely that she dropped something in the water and he was simply trying to return it to them....

Amazon delivery perhaps?

Nah. If it was the ex wife, he'd be going full speed the opposite direction afraid the new guy was trying to give her back.
 
Count on this form to get anything sideways in a hurry LOL
 
This guy needs to have more than just a fine, no matter what set him off. He endangered the lives of others. GOFC, you were a LEO, what else could or should this boater be faceing?
Anything from BUI to reckless endangerment to attempted negligent homicide to felony assault. It would depend on what Michigan's statutes include and how they would fit the description of what the guy did.

Counting heavily against him was the fact that he circled the bigger boat once before taking aim at the stern.
 
Not knowing what the actual charges will be....OWI should be one of many charges. The ramming of the boat was intentional after he circled the boat. Thats a criminal act and using the boat as a weapon for deadly force. The people on the boat could have been injured or killed given different speeds, waves or circumstances. I for one would have taken that as a serious threat to my family and passengers and taken appropriate action. Fore sure there would be further legal action had his boat full of holes made it to shore.
