Scott Burke, 69, faces drug trafficking and weapons charges after arrest
A doctor was arrested after police found guns, drugs and prostitutes aboard a 70ft motor yacht anchored at a small island of Massachusetts.
The yacht Jess Conn, which is out of Georgetown in the Cayman Islands, was raided in Nantucket Harbor after a woman was evacuated from it and taken to a waiting ambulance.
The vessel’s owner Scott Burke, 69, was taken into custody after the raid by Nantucket Police and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Mr Burke, of Key Largo, Florida, faces drug trafficking and weapons charges and is set to be arraigned in Nantucket District Court on 11 September, reported The Nantucket Current.
I wonder what the hull on something like that is made out of? I feel like it’s too big to be fiberglass. Steel plate is obvious, but what grade? I don’t think a yacht would use A36, but I just don’t know.
