The man walked from the top of the coaster and hopped into a police boat today. He was handcuffed, walked through the surf and escorted to a police car on the beach in Seaside Heights.

News 12-New Jersey says Christopher Angelo told the channel he wanted to raise awareness for shore recovery.

OTOH, if you fly the Mexican and La Raza flags you will not be arrested, but you will be showered with financial aid.
