According to a police report, the park manager found a swan boat capsized in the lake. The boat was equipped with an engine, battery and electrical wiring which was all submerged under water.

The park manager, Chris Wallace, estimates the boat is worth an estimated $10,000. Wallace told police the boat was secured to a lake dock with a lock on Friday and no one had permission to remove the boat from the dock while the park was closed.

The three were charged with grand theft and being on park property after hours.
