Man To Be Charged With Littering For Dumping Boat Near Escambia River
May 5, 2010
An area man will face littering charges for dumping a boat near the Escambia River.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Law Enforcement Division found the boat dumped at Quintette Landing Road on the Escambia River last week.
The vessel’s registration numbers had been removed, but the hull identification number remained on the vessel. A little detective work by Lt. Dan Hahr and Officers Chris Pettey and Joe Murphy, and a computer records check, revealed the previous owner’s name and address.
After contacting the vessel owner, he admitted to dumping the small boat the night before, according to the FWC. Pettey will be meeting with the State Attorney’s Office to file littering charges against the man.
The man’s name was not released pending charges being filed.

To Motherofthree”…….Really? Is that the best comment you could come up with? Sad!
What’s really sad is that there are still people who don’t know that a VIN (not a “ven”) stands for Vehicle Identification Number and therefore, by adding # or the word number to the end of it is saying “vehicle identification number number”.
Sort of like saying “hot water heater”. If anything, it is a COLD water heater. There is no need to heat hot water. Hence, it is called a water heater.
boy they catch a criminal and still somebody complains, may be they happened
to be together when they saw it and when they got to their vehicles they all
started looking, how long does it take to pull up a ven. #, sure didn’t turn
out to be a waste of time.
I cannot believe it took three peolpe to look a number up on a computer. Do they have nothing else to do?
not an,
You mean the one downstream from the bridge on the Santa Rosa side?
I look for it every time I pass over just to see how it’s holding up.
David thinking all trash flows to Pensacola
but that piece is taking its time
I wish they could have done something when the one in Escambia River in Century was abandoned in the water, it is still there after what a year?
