TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. – An Arkansas man landed his two-seat plane on a Georgia beach for a little fun and sun.
Instead, the amateur pilot was arrested on charges of reckless conduct and operating a motorized craft on the beach on Tybee Island.
Tybee Island police Lt. Jonathan Hagan told the Savannah Morning News that the plane’s two occupants climbed out to take a stroll on the beach and there was nothing wrong with the single-engine aircraft.
He says the pilot – 36-year-old Mark Jensen – was arrested. The passenger was Jensen’s mother; she was not arrested.
Hagan says the action was unacceptable and endangered other beachgoers.
