Memorial Day weekend is the traditional start of boating season, and the Department of Natural Resources has made its first arrest of an intoxicated operator at the Coralville Reservoir.
A conservation officer reports seeing a boat without a capacity sticker operating on Coralville Lake Saturday evening. A passenger, identified as 47-year-old Jeffrey Stull of Solon, allegedly showed signs of intoxication. Stull was given a citation and allowed to have his 14-year-old son pilot the boat away.
The DNR officer reports seeing Stull driving the same boat into the MacBride boat ramp just after 9pm while his son backed a trailer into the water.
Stull reportedly showed signs of intoxication and provided breath alcohol numbers of .207% at the scene and .204% at the University of Iowa Police station. He was arrested and charged with Operating a Motorboat While Intoxicated.
