While this is interesting, it isn't really the operator that caused the incident, it is the "Rescue Boat" driver.... that got the culprit away from the scene. However hopefully it is a sign, that there are more arrests to be made....

I was surprised too. I expected the article would be about the operator being arrested, although maybe they can't prove anything because he did leave the scene. Maybe this is the only thing they can prove?

Agreed this may be the only thing they can prove. Maybe they expect to pressure this guy to testify against the Sea Ray captain?

Classic law enforcement technique: charge the lowest-level perpetrator on the criminal ladder, and in exchange for a deal-- say probation or dropped charges, they agree to testify against the higher-up perps, in this case, the captain of the boat who this witness (now defendant) can now identify. This works so long as the lower-level defendant is not bought off, by, and/or is wiling to take a the hit for, the target defendant.
