Stolen Yacht Runs Aground

(Newport, OR) -- Authorities say a 41-foot cabin cruiser yacht that was stolen from Florence Friday night ran aground at Lost Creek State Park. The person who was on the boat swam to shore and was seen walking away on the beach. Oregon State Police arrested 34-year-old Daniel Newens of Albany, who they say appeared to be in an altered state. He told police he fell asleep on board. The owner of the boat said no one had permission to be on the boat. A salvage company will remove the boat from the beach.
