A witness told responding officers that the intruder pulled up to the Englewood Marina in Englewood Cliffs in a silver or gray-colored vehicle around 6:45 a.m. and began entering boats, PIP Police Sgt. First Class Raymond E. Walter said.
He “took a couple boats for a joy ride and is even believed to have taken a quick dip in the river,” Walter said.
He smoked a few cigarettes, tossing the butts into one of the boats, the sergeant said.
Then he hauled off a YETI cooler with a Coor’s beer logo imprinted on the side, the witness told police.
Armed with an image of the suspect, PIP police detectives identified and arrested 19-year-old Jason A. Pinilla of Englewood.
They charged him with theft, burglary, criminal trespassing and criminal mischief, then released him pending a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack.
