After a citizen called the police to report a person that was boating while intoxicated, La Porte police officers responded to the scene and arrested the operator of the boat for Boating While Intoxicated.
Officers motioned the driver of the boat to shore and ordered him off of his boat. After asking questions and performing Field Sobriety Tests, the La Porte police officers arrested him for BWI. They transported him to the police station and asked him to take a breath test, which he did. The results registered .165 and .167 on the breath test.
As we discovered during our investigation of the case, it turns out that the portion of Galveston Bay adjacent to La Porte is actually a part of Chambers County. After pointing this out to the attorney for the government, a dismissal was filed.
