A 38-year-old man was arrested early this morning [May 10] on suspicion of piloting or being at the helm of a boat while impaired, after a boat had run aground in waters off Spanish Point Pembroke, according to police.
A police spokesperson said, “Around 4am today [May 10th] marine police responded to a maritime distress call regarding a boat that had run aground.
“The powerboat involved was located on the rocks near Cobbler’s Cut, in waters off Spanish Point Pembroke, with two men aboard.
“The men – said to be a 38-year-old Pembroke man and a 43-year-old man – were not hurt.
“Both were taken on to the attending police vessel and transported to safety.
“The 38-year-old man was later arrested on suspicion of piloting or being at the helm of a boat while impaired.
“He was subsequently released on police bail pending further inquiries and a court appearance is anticipated in due course.”
An area to be respected by the experienced boater. Dangerous to the inexperienced boater especially at night.
..and even more so when you’re drunk.
