A Portland man was arrested Sunday after he allegedly stole a boat and caused at least $25,000 of damage to the vessel before it was recovered by the United States Coast Guard in the Casco Bay.

Portland Police say that a boat owner reported that their boat had been stolen from Fore Points Marina just after 8 a.m. on Sunday.

Police consulted with the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as the Maine Marine Patrol, and spotted the boat offshore.

The U.S. Coast Guard boarded the sailboat and took 43-year-old Jesse Drinkwater of Portland into custody.

Drinkwater was charged with theft by unauthorized taking or transfer, theft by unauthorized use of property, criminal trespass, burglary of a motor vehicle and aggravated criminal mischief.

The boat was towed by the Coast Guard back to the marina.

Police estimated the damage to the sailboat at least $25,000.
