Unit 1 was stolen from the C Dock in Big Bay Creek at Edisto beach in Colleton County. The 4 subjects on board then took Unit 1 to the fuel dock at Edisto Marina to disembark. 

While getting off, the operator reported that he tried to put Unit 1 in neutral, but left Unit 1 in reverse. This caused Unit 1 to take on water after it backed into the fuel dock. 

An Edisto PD officer was able to put Unit 1 in neutral and tie Unit 1 up. While in pursuit of the subjects, the officer left Unit 1. When he revisited Unit 1, it had flipped over however Unit 1 remained tied to the fuel dock. The operator was charged with negligent operation and no navigational lights.
