BREMERTON, Wash. — Police in Bremerton arrested a man Sunday who illegally boarded an out-of-service fast ferry and allegedly tried to steal it.
A woman and her two kids were waiting for a ferry to Seattle and watched from nearby as the man pushed buttons in the wheelhouse.
A ferry captain on a different ferry saw the man on the fast ferry and alerted authorities.
Bremerton Police spokesperson Aaron Elton says the man is in his 40s and told police a revolution was coming, and that’s why he needed to take the boat.
The man faces charges of burglary, theft, malicious mischief, and unlawful transit conduct.
