US COAST GUARD BARGE BOARDING, Florida
Summary
DESCRIPTION JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Nov. 18, 2006)--
- Coast Guard boarding team members remove the handcuffs from Russell Bolton, 51, of Green Cove Springs, Fla., after boarding officers determined he was not a stow away. The Coast Guard received a call from the tug Ybor City from Jacksonville, Fla., reporting they had a stowaway aboard the 115-foot barge they were towing. A Coast Guard boarding team along with a Customs and Boarder Patrol Officer thought they were going to detain a possible stow away. Actually, Bolton's sailing vessel collided with the barge before sunrise that morning. Bolton had to jump aboard the barge to keep from falling in the water. Coast Guard and CBP officers verified the man's story and took him back to shore. Coast Guard photo by PA1 Donnie Brzuska.
