On a Friday night in West Islip, New York, a 58-year-old man named Abimal Acosta was arrested after operating a boat while intoxicated and attempting to evade the U.S. Coast Guard. The incident began when a 911 caller reported a 24-foot vessel moving erratically in the Great South Bay, prompting a response from the Coast Guard. Upon their arrival, Acosta attempted to flee, ultimately beaching the boat, which led to the engine overheating and catching fire. Fortunately, he managed to extinguish the flames by turning off the engine. Following the incident, Acosta was taken into custody by Suffolk County Police Marine Bureau officers and underwent field testing by a SAFE-T Team officer. He was charged with boating while intoxicated at 10:18 p.m. and was held overnight at the Third Precinct. Acosta is set to be arraigned at the First District Court in Central Islip on Saturday.
