Man Charged With Drunken Boating After Canoe Rescue

POSTED: 11:16 am EDT August 20, 2007

NOTTINGHAM, N.H. -- Authorities rescued -- then arrested -- a Massachusetts man who got in trouble while canoeing at Pawtuckaway State Park.

New Hampshire Marine Patrol said a man and woman had to be rescued after their canoe overturned near the park beach Sunday evening. Officials said the couple had a hard time staying above water and had to be helped to shore by two off-duty lifeguards.

After the lifeguards helped Charles McCollin, 25, of Somerville, Mass., out of the water, he was taken to Exeter Hospital to be treated for a cut on his head. He was then arrested and charged with boating while intoxicated.
