A Cedar Lake man was arrested after he left his boat when he crossed the Cedar Lake dredge pipe.
Around 1:21 a.m. Friday, Cedar Lake Police were called to the 13400 block of Cedar Street on the lake for a boat ran aground, Police Chief Carl Brittingham said in a release. They saw the boat — a 2003 Baja — sinking and were told someone picked up that boat’s driver on a personal watercraft, Brittingham said.
The suspect was taken to the Lake County Jail and refused to submit to a chemical test, Brittingham said. The Post-Tribune isn’t naming the suspect until he is formally charged. This isn’t the first instance of the dredge pipe being crashed into — or used as a launching pad. Last June, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources issued a temporary rule restricting the speed of watercraft within 220 feet of the dredge pipe. The rule lasted until the end of 2023 boating season; the DNR hasn’t reinstated the rule for 2024.
