Joseph Malinowski, who gained internet fame because of his risky decisions to ride out Hurricane Helene and Milton on his 20-foot sailboat, was arrested Friday on multiple charges including failing to appear in court, Tampa police said.

Malinowski, 54, known as "Lieutenant Dan," was arrested on two outstanding warrants for failure to appear in court and a misdemeanor charge of trespassing in a city park after warning, police said in a statement.

Officers warned Malinowski on Thursday that he was creating a health hazard because he did not have an “accessible marine sanitation device aboard his unregistered vessel and did not have record of proper disposal of waste,” police said.

record of proper disposal of waste

What if your boat runs on bio-diesel?

I’m too superficial. I thought he looked like a sleaze in the first photograph I saw of him.

“[did not have an] accessible marine sanitation device aboard his unregistered vessel and did not have record of proper disposal of waste”

Helene and other storms dumped an estimated FORTY TRILLION gallons of water on the southeast US. The storm surge spreads filth everywhere.

Talk about a non-issue and harassment!

While those in government wink and nod as they roll out the red carpet for tens of millions entering the U.S. illegally, from God knows where. All while forcing every one of us to pay billions for this epic invasion.

The mayor was pissed at him for not evacuating to a shelter when he ordered him to.
Retribution from the master.

Who’d a thunk that a meth head that his daughter begged people to not give money to; would have something like this happen?

That was my thought as well. That whole situation created a large mass of hazardous waste. How much was one person’s of a proper marine waste disposal item going to make? What about the folks in N.C. who lost everything when their homes floated away? Lt. Dan’s charges seem ludicrous to me, but I admit I don’t know all the details.
