The captain of a tourist boat with 13 passengers onboard has been arrested after failing a sobriety test.
Juneau police say 67-year-old Lawrence O. Dupler later provided breath samples showing a blood-alcohol content level of .115. The legal limit is 0.08.
He’s been jailed on $1,500 bail after his arrest about noon Wednesday. Online court records didn’t list charges or an attorney.
Juneau Police Sgt. Chris Gifford says the U.S. Coast Guard received a tip from someone onboard the boat.
The Coast Guard detained Dupler outside Auke Bay after making contact. He had been piloting a 52-foot tour boat, which also had two other crew members aboard.
Gifford said police aren’t releasing the name of the tour company.
