[Music] July 1st, 2023. While on vessel patrol in Tquesta, Florida, fish and wildlife officers Cernuno and Bonds observed the vessel failing to display an all-around white light from the stern. Based on that observation, they decided to conduct a safety inspection. How we doing, guys? FWC, we're just going to pull alongside you. Hey, what's going on?

I can jacket. Who's 21 on the boat, guys? Who's 21? Nobody. Nobody. Nobody's 20. How old are you guys? I'm 20. I just turned 18. You turned 18. I just turned 18. Okay. How are you, buddy? 18. Who's been drinking the twisted juice? I have. You had them twisted? I had a couple. I had two. You had two. Two. Yes, sir. All right. All right. You guys know not 21. Yeah, I know. We were just trying to have lunch. Yeah, it was just my birthday. If you look, my wife's in it was June 29th. It was just my birthday. So, we were doing a little fishing. Okay. Hey, 6527. Mike 400 630 0. Correction. Mike 400 63 04 229 0. I'm go for O2. I'm go for O2. You had that with you? Yeah. Hey, buddy. We're going to make sure you're good to go. Y'all got any alcohol left? We drank them. There's some You want us to dump them out? Let's not set them up there cuz you're going to make them go in the water. Okay. Just put them. Yeah, that's all right. We just don't want to pollute 23 just on your boat. Yeah, I'm just going to have you help you step over. All right, I'm going to have you come up to the bell with me. All right, you see that little seat there with a little stool? Just sit there for you. Okay. All right. How much did you drink today? I had about a total of three twisted teas. Three twisted teas. All right. How long have you been out today? Three hours. No, I need it probably. Thank you. All right. So, about three hours. May or may not. Probably won't. I don't think it's gonna move, but it'll work. Yep. All right. Can I hold Let me hold your Thank you. Probably want it down, right? Mine's Yeah, I was say mine's getting a little too for you, buddy. What? The officer saying, So, you're out just fishing offshore all day? Yes, man. We're offshore fishing. Okay. Want to get some fish and we actually had no luck. We had a 12in grouper, but we threw it back. Okay. Okay. And we're just gonna sleep there for the night. Chill out. All right. So, what I'm going to do is I'm gonna ask you to do some tasks for me. Okay. Like major said, we don't want to put you back on the water when you're going to get killed. Okay. So, I'm going to ask you to submit to some voluntary task. Okay. I've actually edited the SFST because they aren't very interesting. But the one thing I will note is I believe that he did well enough with the SFST that it wouldn't be enough evidence to prove the man is too impaired to operate. Which is why the officer stops halfway through and starts whispering to the other officer that they can more than likely get him to blow over a 0.2, which is all they would need to charge him with underage drinking. All right, relax for I think this is going to be our better bet probably than what you're seeing. Yeah. You don't hear that. Yeah. Oh, 100%. Maybe five. Yeah. Maybe wrong. Don't know. But almost Yeah. Yeah. I know. Idiot. Idiots. No, no. Oh, might have been her. What kind of boat was it? Like 22 bays all the way 26. You can tell they got like five or six coming back from whatever there. Got even deal. some dinner after. All right. So, this is a portable breath test. Okay. Because you're under 21 years of age, do you know what the legal threshold for um operating a vessel is? Okay. It's 0.02. Unlike a 21 year old person, 0.08. Okay. As a person under 21 years of age, you're able to provide a breath sample into this. Okay. So, what I'm going to ask you to do is I'm going to ask you to take a deep breath. I'm going to ask you to make a complete seal with your lips around the mouthpiece and I'm going to ask you to basically provide a breath sample as long as you can or as hard as you can. Okay? All right. So, blow, blow, blow, blow. Keep blowing. Keep blowing. Keep blowing. Keep blowing. Keep blowing. Keep blowing. Keep blowing. Keep blowing. Keep blowing. Keep blowing. Okay. So, you're a 0057. Okay. Okay. So, you are going to be over the um the 002. Okay. So, you are going to be cited tonight. It's going to be an O2 violation. It is a it is an administrative penalty. Okay. Which means that you don't go to jail tonight. Okay. It's an administrative penalty that's going to have some implications with it. All right. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to have you hang tight for a second. I'm going to type that up. People get killed doing the stuff that you guys are doing. Okay. I know that it seems like you're just out having a good time and stuff, but people get killed every day out here, especially on holiday weekends. It's absolute ape out here. You guys know that. All right, so it's just not worth it. Especially those twisted teas. I I don't know why I see people get absolutely trashed on those things faster than anything else. Those things will catch up with you quick. Hey, how many do you have? Three. Two or three. So, you're you're you're 06, right? So, you're three quarters away to being legally under the influence. So, If you had one more of those, you would have shown indicators when she was doing the pill soiety. That's what that's why we went this route because we weren't seeing indicators. You're over one more alcoholic beverage. You'd have been guaranteed that probably put you 0.03 higher. You probably like 085. We picked up on that and you went to jail. So it' be not only a point violation with administrative like she said it'd be a misdemeanor is the same as very similar to a It follows you your whole life. Does this follow me my whole life? This is an administrative penalty. Okay. So, it's not a criminal record. Okay. You're probably going to have to do some community service for it. You're going to have to go talk to a judge. So, you that's something that you're going to talk to the judge at court about, but it's like I said, it's not criminal, so it's not something you're going to get criminally expuned. Does that make sense? Because it's an administrative violation. Does that make sense? Yes, ma'am. Okay. I I'm going to marine technician school up in Orlando trying to be a boat tech for boats. I love boats. Then then be glad you're not going to jail for BUI because that would really embarrass. I just don't want to affect my job. Yep. Okay. I know it's not worth like I just put in 14 months of school. I feel like it's just going to tell you Yep. 100%. Do you both have your ID on you? I actually don't. It's in my truck. It's at his house. So, like I'm sorry. No, you can look up my name if you want. The shirt makes me think you got one. Very suspicious. Thank you. I just thought it looked cool. Yeah. Makes you look suspicious. It is a nice shirt. I don't see why it fits for these [ __ ] Good to see you. You guys know what possessing alcohol is underage, right? Yes. For all three of you, what is it? It's um I think a fine. No, it's a misdemeanor. It's a misdemeanor. It's an arrestable offense. You understand that, correct? [Music]
