SEATTLE — Seattle police say a man was arrested Sunday after he allegedly stole a Victoria Clipper boat and headed out into the middle of Seattle’s Elliott Bay.
Sgt. Sean Whitcomb says the man did not have permission to be aboard the passenger ferry boat. The man was being questioned Sunday afternoon and was to be booked into King County Jail.
The boat was reported drifting about 300 yards from Pier 69 on the Seattle waterfront about 7 a.m.
Police say the U.S. Coast Guard and Seattle police were contacted when a tugboat was sent to retrieve it and a man was discovered on board.
