The United States Coast Guard has issued a $3,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person who made a hoax call on Tuesday.
Responding to a hoax distress call about a sinking yacht with 21 people aboard – including three dead — cost taxpayers at least $88,000, a Coast Guard commander said today.
Planes and helicopters from as far away as Massachusetts responded to a real-sounding distress call Monday afternoon that purported to be from a yacht called “Blind Date.”
The audio from the hoax call was released today.
