Operating a boat while intoxicated alleged: Jaymes Daniel Molisee, 26, of Maidsville, W.Va., was charged with two counts of operating a watercraft with a high rate of alcohol, along with reckless operating of a watercraft and 11 summary boating violations. On Sunday, a state Fish and Boat Commission water conservation officer saw a pontoon boat pass through Point Marion Lock and Dam on the Monongahela River headed toward Cheat River. The boat’s registration was difficult to read. Shortly after, the boat returned upriver faster than a slow, no-wake speed with passengers outside the railing. A child had an adult life vest on that did not fit. Molisee, the operator, was taken to Waynesburg Borough Police station on suspicion of intoxication and had a blood-alcohol content of 0.156 percent.
