Trouble on the Time Bandit

The Homer Tribune reports the vessel involved in this incident was the Time Bandit, a crab boat made famous on "Deadliest Catch."

From the Alaska State Troopers:

Location: Offshore Anchor Point
Type: Assault on a police officer
On 5/29/11 at 1324 hours, an Alaska state trooper and K-9 Yukon were requested to conduct a boarding with the U.S. Coast Guard of a vessel that had been anchored near Anchor Point Beach. During the boarding a small amount of marijuana was located aboard and USCG officials will be investigating. During the contact, a male refused to identify himself onboard. It was later determined that the male was Michael Lee Shannon, 39, of Wasilla, who was a guest on the vessel and intoxicated. As the trooper was trying to secure a weapon on Shannon's person, Shannon grabbed the trooper's arm and would not let go after being ordered to do so. Shannon was arrested for disorderly conduct, assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. Investigation complete.
