NAKED FLORIDA MAN STEALS BOAT, FLIPS IT IN HAULOVER INLET

MIAMI, FL — A NAKED MAN WAS RESCUED FRIDAY AFTER STEALING A 27-FOOT SEA RAY FROM A BISCAYNE BAY DOCK AND FLIPPING IT IN THE TREACHEROUS WATERS OF HAULOVER INLET.

WITNESSES SAY THE MAN—IDENTIFIED ONLY AS “BO HUNTER” BY A CHEST TATTOO—JUMPED ABOARD THE UNATTENDED BOAT AND SPED OFF, UNCLOTHED AND APPARENTLY UNCONCERNED. HE MADE IT TO HAULOVER INLET BEFORE LAUNCHING OFF A WAVE AND SPECTACULARLY CAPSIZING THE VESSEL.

“HE SAID HE WAS TESTING THE HULL INTEGRITY,” SAID ONE RESCUER.

RESCUE DIVERS PULLED HIM FROM THE WATER UNINJURED. WHEN ASKED WHY HE WAS NAKED, BO REPLIED, “DIDN’T WANT TO GET MY CLOTHES WET.”

THE BOAT IS LIKELY TOTALED. AUTHORITIES SAY BO FACES CHARGES OF GRAND THEFT, INDECENT EXPOSURE, AND RECKLESS OPERATION OF A VESSEL.
