Man filmed ramming boat on Lake St. Clair charged with DUI and malicious destruction of property.
Cell phone video captures what looks like a modern-day pirate attack. A man in a small speed boat attacks a couple on a larger boat on June 30. The smaller boat is seen circling around before ramming the boat from behind at full speed.
The couple on the large boat told WXYZ they do not know the man on the boat who attacked them and they were on their way back to the dock when they noticed him following them.
Deputies arrested Timothy Kennedy of New Baltimore a short time later. The 39-year-old man was arraigned Monday on charges of operating while intoxicated and malicious destruction of property. He was given a $5,000 (10%) bond and is scheduled to be back in court on July 15.
According to jail records, Kennedy previously served time for second-degree criminal sexual conduct back in 2011.
The couple was not injured but said there was extensive damage done to the boat.”
