I was going to say until the part about the bomb threat and suicide threat that I don't actually know what crime he was committing that would warrant arrest. But by the end of the article arrest seemed in his best interest.

    Thought the same thing so I googled "manifestly unsafe voyage":

    https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/33/177.07

    (f) Designated manifestly unsafe for a specific voyage on a specific body of water due to:

    (1) Unsuitable design or configuration, or

    (2) Improper construction or inadequate material condition, or

    (3) Improper or inadequate operational or safety equipment, and set forth in an order issued by a District Commander according to the provisions of § 177.04.

    I believe this person to be mentally ill.
