San Diego man arrested, accused of stealing yacht and crashing during joyride in Newport Harbor [Breaking]
A man was arrested by Orange County sheriff’s deputies Thursday and held on $3-million bail after stealing a 60-foot yacht and crashing it into multiple vessels docked near the Lido Island Bridge on Newport Bay, authorities said.
Orange County Sheriff’s Lt. Ryan Anderson said Harbor Patrol deputies were first notified of a boat collision in Newport Harbor shortly after 10 a.m. Newport Beach resident Todd Newkirk was working on a construction project on the fifth floor of the Newport Towers when he heard a big boom and rushed to the balcony to see what had happened.
“At first I thought the guy had had a heart attack and lost control of the boat,” Newkirk added. “But then I saw he got arrested. If he was sick, they would have taken him in an ambulance.”
