shorts and he was eating a sandwich once the officers had finally gotten the boat to stop officer McCormack noted a a sleepy female in the bow of the boat and he also noted that the boarding ladder was dragging behind the boat so that's not good either good good afternoon you're in neutral right C okay hey I'm officer mccorn Florida fishing Wildlife the reason why I'm stopping you sir is you're
