Video Shows Pinellas Deputy Jumping Onto Unmanned Boat
There is a video of a Pinellas County deputy jumping onto an unmanned boat. This happened last month and was less than a mile from the St. Pete Pier. The runaway boat happened after the captain fell off the boat and didn’t have his kill switch attached to his wrist. The captain was rescued, but the boat kept going. The Coast Guard attempted to stop the boat, but were unsuccessful.
Deputy Travis Fernandes and Deputy Jillian Constant got the call about the boat and that’s when Deputy Fernandes literally jumped into action. The deputies matched the speed of the unmanned boat, pulled up right beside it and jumped into the boat. Deputy Fernandes said, “We drive boats 10 hours a day, four times a week. We train for this stuff. We train for all sorts of incidents, so it’s not okay for someone to try to do this on their own. Plus, our vessel’s a little different too, you know, we got the foam on the sides really helps.”
Check out the video below of the Pinellas deputy jumping onto the unmanned boat below.
