Box-spring Boat

(Eugene, OR) -- A homeless man in Eugene who was warned he needed to leave his camp built a make-shift boat and moved onto the river. Patrick Jackson made the boat out of a box-spring mattress and other items in his camp. Jackson was anchored several feet from shore, with an anchor made of rope and plastic bags filled with rocks. Officers used a pitchfork to drag the vessel to dry land and Jackson was arrested on several charges, including possession of illegal drugs.
