According to The Chicago Tribune a retired police officer, the captain of an U.S.V.I. charter boat, ended up in British Virgin Island territory by mistake.
The sloppy skipper was charged with illegal entry into the British territory and fishing without a license and was slapped with a $45,ooo fine and one-year prison sentence.
"He is the laughing stock of the prison," his wife Deborah Barton said Tuesday. "The inmates who are in there for every other crime just crack up at him because he is doing a year for fishing."
