Well first off he never ran aground I put left two of my crew on the boat to drive it back (One BM and one MK) and they just drove away. After hitting the 25 a few times and running over the bow and we still didnt stop, added along with the shots fired at him once he was along the west side of davis island I think he relized he couldnt fit under the bridge and just shut it down. He came to the back of the boat with his hands in the air saying I'm sorry I didnt mean to heart anyone I wasnt trying to hurt you. Ok you RAN OVER THE BOW OF OUR BOAT but you didnt want to hurt anyone?!?!?!?!? But all in all it was a real good job done by all between FWC, us, HCSO, Tampa PD, and the air asset it was a great show of force.
ShakinIt- As for drunk I dont know I was the coxswain on the boat so I couldnt leave I had to keep all of us in good water so I couldnt leave the helm, I put my crew over to effect the arrest, so the only time I really got to see him face to face was when he was siiting in the squad car in cuffs for like 3 hrs, bet that was comfortable. Oh on a side note he was rearested again yesterday and being held in a federal pen with no bail available on charges of assault on a federal officer!!!!
