Md. Delegate Charged In Boat Collision

A Maryland state delegate is facing charges that he operated a powerboat while drunk over the summer.

Maryland Natural Resource police on Thursday announced multiple charges against Don Dwyer, a Republican state delegate from Anne Arundel County. Dwyer has admitted that he was under the influence of alcohol when his boat collided with another vessel on the Magothy River in August.

Several people were injured, including a young girl.

"Our investigation showed that with the toxicology report that came back from the Maryland State Police crime lab, that his blood alcohol content was .24," Sgt. Brian Albert, with the Maryland Natural Resources Police, tells WTOP.
