With such severe damage to the boat, the operator is lucky no one was killed. Nice job by responding officers in recognizing signs of impairment and taking the appropriate action.

A southwest Chicago man is charged with boating under the influence after he crashed his boat into a break wall. The accident took place about 10:30 Tuesday night on Lake Michigan at Calumet Harbor. Six adults were found on the break wall near 95th Street when the Coast Guard arrived. The 38-foot boat did not sink but it did sustain $150,000 in damage.

Lawrence Fenzau, 41, of Orland Park was charged. Police say he refused a breathalyzer test. No one was hurt.
The Coast Guard cited Lawrence Fenzau, the boat’s operator, with boating under the influence. He could face a fine if found guilty. The Coast Guard declined to give Fenzau’s age or address.
