Whatever Floats Your Boat
Jeremy Eaton, 39, faces up to 20 years in prison for arson. Late at night, Eaton walked to the harbor in Stoningham, Maine, and found a skiff that had a couple of gasoline canisters. He then stole a small boat and transported the gas into the harbor, where a lobster boat was anchored. “Eaton then emptied the cans of gasoline into the lobster boat and started a fire which destroyed the boat,” prosecutors say. “Eaton later admitted that he had burned the boat.” No motive was disclosed.
