Vernon RCMP arrested a man allegedly operating a boat while intoxicated over the long weekend.

On Saturday (Aug. 5) morning, at approximately 4:15 a.m, police received a report of a boating collision, in front of the property in the 7800-block of Tronson Road.

The homeowner reported that a boat crashed into their boat that was moored on the water in front of their property.

The boat was caught on an anchor chain and unable to move. Frontline officers attended the location where they found a man operating a jet ski, attempting to free the boat from the chain.

While speaking to the man on shore, who was determined to have been operating the stuck boat, investigators observed signs of alcohol intoxication and demanded a sample of breath from him, which was refused. After refusing, the man was arrested and transported to the RCMP detachment and later released.

Three other people were in the boat at the time of the collision and no injuries were reported.
