A Florida charter captain was arrested after allegedly holding hostage a group of men on his boat while snorting cocaine, drinking excessively, shooting off a gun multiple times, and refusing to dock.

Mark Bailey, 36, was arrested by police in Sarasota after holding the men for 17 hours on his boat in what was supposed to be a 12-hour charter fishing trip. The Washington Examiner obtained police documents from the arrest, which include witness statements from the men on board the vessel.
