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.


Curious.

Does this imply that anyone (even a nonpaddling bow passenger) who is
drunk in a canoe is liable for 'operating under the influence'? Do
passengers on a sailboat or motorboat have the same accountability?

This sounds more like "stumbling around on a muddy bank while under the
influence", to me.

I suppose technically, unlike a car, more than one person can be operating a
canoe at any given time. I suppose that enters into what passes for the
reasoning.
