Police say a man didn’t wait for a boat to be towed to safety after it got stuck, and he ended up in police custody.
Naples Police Department arrested Jospeh Turner Tuesday after he jumped off a cruise boat onto Gordon River Bridge in Naples.
Police say they told Turner not to jump, but he did anyway after the boat he was on became lodge against the bridge.
Officers told people to stay on the boat for their safety because it would be too dangerous to jump off once the boat was stuck, but Turner is accused of not waiting or listening to orders from law enforcement.
