PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Brave Deputy... too bad the Uvalde P.O.'s didn't share that trait...
..."A Florida sheriff's deputy is being hailed as an amateur stuntman (and getting a music video moment) after he jumped onto an unattended runaway boat traveling at speeds reaching over 40 mph.
On Sunday, Deputy Fernandes and Deputy Constant with the Marine and Environmental Lands Unit responded to a call from the U.S. Coast Guard to assist with a runaway vessel off the coast of Florida, according to a Facebook and Instagram post from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office.
After the driver fell off the boat, a good Samaritan rescued him, the sheriff’s office said. But the boat continued on, cruising at speeds topping out at about 41 mph.
The Coast Guard attempted to stop the boat by deploying propeller fouling devices, but it was to no avail, the sheriff’s office said."...
