Here is the stolen houseboat off the north tip of Nicollet Island in the Mississippi River

Or liberated, since the thief is invoking maritime law. @TCCrimeWatch

Currently pushing off with a pole from the shores of Boom Island.

Apparently he's claiming the boat was abandoned

There is a group gathered nearby in what looks like a memorial or vigil for the boy who drowned recently. With any luck this stolen houseboat situation won't disturb them.

The stolen houseboat is drifting upriver under a strong wind.

The MPD is on Boom Island

Apprehended

This is how it went down

First they Tased him a couple times
