Horner then boarded the Towls boat, causing the young fisherman to panic as the captain cried out for you to hear. The encounter ended with Towles apologizing to Horner and bringing him back to the boat.
The incident is currently under investigation by the Punta Gorda Police Department, the Plant Fish and Widlife Conservation Committee, and the U.S. Coast Guard.
Horner’s lawyers issued a statement to NBC affiliate WBBH, saying the captain was apologizing to Gage’s family.
“Bullock isn’t proud of how he acted, but it’s important to remember: we’re not the sum of the worst days.
In a description of the Towles YouTube video, he said, “I felt so weak because I didn’t want to post this video first, so I was already having a horrifying day and this was iced with cakes.”
“We’re now looking at it so that by pulling this captain away from the water, we can save Brock Horner or perhaps someone else’s life,” he writes.
