NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK BEGINS WITH DWI ARREST IN JEFFERSON PARISH
5/31/2005

Agents with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife (LDWF) Enforcement Division arrested a Destrehan man for allegedly operating a motorboat while intoxicated on the first day of Safe Boating Week.

LDWF agents stopped Kenneth J. Gravois, 47, to perform a boating safety compliance check. During the inspection, agents noticed that Gravois appeared to be intoxicated. Following a standardized field sobriety test he was arrested and cited for operating a vessel while intoxicated and booked into the East Bank Lockup in Jefferson Parish.

The maximum penalties for a first conviction of operating a motorboat while intoxicated are a fine of $1,000 and imprisonment for six months.

Safe Boating Week was observed from May 21 to May 27 to encourage all boaters to exercise caution and follow safe practices.

Lt. Allen Adam, Sgt. Rachel Zechenelly, and Senior Agents Kris Bourgeois and Eddie Skena participated in the arrest.

For more information, contact Lt. Col. Keith LaCaze at 225-765-2469 or klacaze@wlf.louisiana.gov
