This guy should get into the same club of everyone that thought the iphone update made their phone waterproof, or that they could charge it in the microwave. You should never believe the nonsense of internet trolls.

Even if those trolls happen to own the car company.

Dumbasses, it's not the update that made it waterproof, it's the app I got from the app store!

An arrest means a public record. Can't wait to see it. Once a name is out they'll be roasted and I'm here for it.

I think they named him in at least one of the articles

From another article:

The driver, later identified as Jimmy Jack McDaniel, was arrested and charged with operating a vehicle in a closed section of a park or lake, having no valid boat registration and numerous water safety equipment violations.

McDaniel also had no valid boat registration, per the outlets.

Pfffahahahahaha

It would be tough for me to think up a more fitting name for who I would imagine did this.
