Dumb Criminals: Man Who Stole Seattle Ferry Turns Out To Be Registered Sex Offender

[Initech]

SEATTLE — When Darrell Bryan arrived at the Victoria Clipper offices at 5 a.m. Sunday, he was worried about the wind and choppy waves on Elliott Bay and how they might affect the passenger ferry’s usual departure to British Columbia.

One look out the window, and dicey weather became the least of his problems.

The high-speed Clipper IV was adrift about 100 feet from the dock at Pier 69, its powerful engines running. The ropes that had secured the 132-foot ferry to the dock had not been untied, and the starboard cleats had been torn from the deck.

In the wheelhouse was Samuel K. McDonough, a 33-year-old registered sex offender from Preston, who apparently had climbed a security fence and is suspected of illegally boarding the ferry and taking it out into Elliott Bay.

You never know.
