The police chief said the incident occurred between the co-captain of a riverboat named the Harriott II - which had 227 passengers on board - and a private boat owner and his family. "As the Hariott attempted to dock in its designated space, designated and reserved due to the gangway access as well as the mooring requirements, the private boat docked in its space, prohibiting safe docking," Chief Albert said The boat remained "away from the dock" for 40 to 45 minutes as it attempted to contact the operators of the private boat, but it was responded to with "curse words, obscene gestures and taunting." He named the suspect as Richard Roberts, 48, who has two outstanding warrants against him for third-degree assault. There is one warrant each for third-degree assault for Alan Todd, 23 and Zachary Shipman, 25.
