Man overboard
SEATTLE — The Coast Guard has issued a $5,000 fine to a man who intentionally jumped overboard from a state ferry before the vessel left the Bremerton terminal.
The agency said Wednesday that the man suffered “significant injuries” when he jumped off the ferry Kaleetan on March 21.
Ferry crew members in a rescue boat retrieved him. The man was not identified.
Coast Guard spokesman George Degener said he didn’t know why the man jumped but said the agency determined it was intentional.
