Dundalk man sentenced to 6 months after boat set on fire

A District Court judge has sentenced a 21-year-old Dundalk resident to six months in the Baltimore County Detention Center for violating his probation and for failure to remove a boat from state waters.

Jacob Dane Green must also pay a $3,000 fine.

Green, registered owner of a 33-foot cabin boat, had abandoned the 28-year-old Broadwater cruiser in Back River near Whetherby Point, police said. Natural Resources police charged Green in August with littering the waterway. He plead guilt to those charges in February. But the judge waived jail time and fine, if Green agreed to remove the boat by April 1.

Green's boat was at the same location on April 5, when police working on Back River found it had been set on fire.

The Baltimore County Environmental Protection removed the vessel at a cost of $13,300.
