KERRVILLE, Texas — A person was accused of leaving their boat in the middle of Freedom Trail Road and let's just say, the Kerr County Sheriff's Department was not having it.
But, on Wednesday, authorities posted to Facebook to say they made an arrest.
"After a three-day investigation, we’re pleased to inform you that the wayward ‘Captain of Freedom Trail’, Eric Amir Afshari, 41, has been arrested," the post says.
Over the weekend, deputies found the more than 2,000-pound boat illegally dumped on the side of the road, but tied to a tree.
Previously, the post gain traction on social media as it said, "AHOY! You ever lose your keys? Misplace your wallet? It happens. Someone misplaced their boat in the middle of Freedom Trail, and we’d love to have a word with them. Thankfully, the owner tied it to a nearby tree (?) in case the creek rises, so there’s that. We don’t need Morse Code to know that this was no accident," the Facebook post says.
The post said the name was worn off on the boat, but the sheriff's department coined it as the "Reckless Abandon."
After the arrest took place, they wrote, "Illegal dumping endangers people, animals, and the environment. Looks terrible, too."
They also wrote that they will continue to pursue, cite and arrest those, "Who make their trash everyone else's problem."
And then, the post concluded with, "We appreciate having you on board."
