The woman who tried to help a man that fell into the Little Miami River
Wednesday is facing charges.

Cherie Moore is charged with operating a watercraft while under the influence.
Moore was cited and released from police custody.

Police say Dwayne Cottrell, 43, slipped into the river as he, another man and
Moore were trying to launch a canoe from the riverbank. When the two people
tried to pull Cottrell to safety, the boat capsized throwing all of the people
into the water.

The man and Moore made it to shore, but Cottrell never resurfaced.

Police say none of the people were wearing life jackets.

It was significant that they explicated that they were NOT wearing
their PFDs!
