SEATTLE (AP) A man who was saved by a Coast Guard rescue swimmer at the mouth of the Columbia River as a massive wave rolled the yacht he was piloting Friday was wanted for a bizarre incident in which police said he left a dead fish at the Astoria, Oregon, home featured in the classic 1985 film, "The Goonies."

Officers had been looking for the man since Wednesday, when an acquaintance alerted them to a video he posted on social media of himself leaving the fish at the house and then dancing around the property, Astoria Police Chief Stacy Kelly said.
Kelly identified the man as Jericho Labonte, 35, of Victoria, British Columbia. Labonte is also wanted in British Columbia on criminal harassment, mischief and failure to comply cases from last fall, Kelly said.
Was trying to figure out why in the hell the guy was even out there in that fat pig. Turns out there's more to the story ... as usual.

Kids, take notes. This is how you should act out your crazy. People love a quirky crazy guy. Don't go shooting up schools. People hate those guys.

Looks like the guy pumped $500 worth of gas into a rod holder.

Geez. At least 2 souls on board the boat. Neither appeared to get off before the boat got rolled by the wave. You can see the rescue swimmer duck the wave, but there is someone on the back of the boat (who might be OK if he jumped clear), and someone in the top cabin. That was flattened after the boat rights… hope that guy is OK. Scary stuff.
There was only one man-the guy on the back. He was rescued and brought back to be treated by EMS. The rest of the thread explains it.
I can see it now. Was watching the video on my phone earlier, and saw the flap to the cover on top opening and it looked like a figure in there. I can see now it was the wind moving the flap, and a chair in there.

So impressive that swimmer was able to get the guy.

Holy crap...

How anyone could let a pump go that long without checking or thinking about it, is beyond me. That's absolutely crazy

That's what they get for starting the pump and going inside, expecting it to shut off when it's full.

From looking at how much was in the boat, it was going to be 1000 of what ever currency this was before the pump clicked off.

It wouldn't be dollars because the pump is measuring in liters. They put a little over 60 gallons in there though

It's in Australia (between the Nissan Patrol and the license plate format, it's obvious). Converting from AUD it's still $375 USD.

Looks like the captain sent a few into the drink, or maybe they just hit the deck. Either way...well done.

Nah.

Not that it's all that commonplace but that's just a dude who knows how to run his boat properly. Way too many idiots run that pass incorrectly.

I guess so, but there was that first time he attempted it….

I doubt I'll ever be that good or brave.

Homeboys got slammed to the deck on the second and third waves. Painful.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

Sometimes you don't have a choice because you waited longer than you should have to run back inside the jetties and a storm is rolling in vs. a strong falling tide and kicks up 4' rollers in the POC jetties.

Ask me how I know.

Caption said a broken back on the guy in black, and others had dislocated ankles and ribs.

This. I have gone through the area near the end of the channel side of the North Jetty at Galveston a few times when it looked like that with a strong outgoing tide boosted by strong flow coming from water stacked in the bay and strong onshore winds opposing it. You just have to match your speed to the rollers and coast through them. Going out through it is much more of an adventure.

I've been in that situation on the North Jetty at Galveston, except with the storm rolling right out of Galveston Bay down the channel towards the jetties. Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Nothing to do but pull the anchor, put on the rain gear, and jog against the waves.
