Diver Entangled In Boat Propeller Leads To Arrest Of Florida Man

A Florida man has been arrested after a diver was fatally entangled in a boat propeller. He's now facing charges of seaman's manslaughter.

Seaman's manslaughter is a charge I have never heard of, but apparently it's a real thing. It's merely only one of the charges an Ocala man is facing after a diver reportedly became entangled in his boat propeller leading to his death. It sounds like his boat "Southern Comfort" was anything but!

Whether you're a professional fisherman, someone who gives tours on the water, or someone who borrows their friend's boat on occasion to go for a swim--anybody who has spent time near a boat knows that propellers can be dangerous. You want to make sure they're off before you dive into the water or try to climb up the ladder to get back into the boat.

According to Click Orlando, 49-year-old Dustin Sean McCabe appeared in court last week after being charged with several crimes related to his scuba charter business, including the seaman's manslaughter charge. Reports say he told the U.S. Coast Guard that his boat "Southern Comfort" was for recreational purposes, but he was actually using it to conduct paid scuba charters out of Palm Beach County, per Click Orlando. The outlet reports that McCabe took a couple out for a diving trip to Breaker's Reef and that's where the incident took place. Click Orlando reports that the couple, Sean Flynn and Mollie Ghiz-Flynn, resurfaced after finishing their dive and as they were swimming back towards the boat, McCabe reportedly put the boat in reverse causing them to get sucked under the boat with Ghiz-Flynn getting stuck in the moving propellers. You always hear warnings about that potentially happening and now it has.

Despite her husband and people on the boat's efforts, they were unable to free Mollie from the propellers. A lawsuit has since been filed and says, "(Sean) watched in horror to the futile efforts to save his wife, who was declared dead by the time the vessel returned to the marina. Cause of death was determined to be 'drowning' with 'chop wounds of the lower extremities' as a significant contributing factor," via Click Orlando. I feel like every person who drives a boat should know how dangerous that is! People can easily get trapped under if you miss your mark by even a little bit.

Now, McCabe is facing a long list of charges including a count of making false statements and 3 counts of wire fraud. If convicted, he could face up to 35 years behind bars. Flynn has since filed a lawsuit against McCabe. It would be horrible to witness something like that happen. You can see McCabe's mugshot provided by the Ocala Police Department below.

Mugshots can be entertaining for a number of reasons. It could be the story behind the arrest. Or, more likely, it could be how the person looks in the photo. Here are Dave & Chuck The Freak's Top 5 Mugshots Of The Day for 2023!

That's right! We crunched the numbers and got hard data. Once said data was crunched and examined we were left with Dave & Chuck The Freak's 5 most popular Mugshots Of The Day from the past year!

As usual, doing a list of the 5 best is very difficult. I mean, Dave & Chuck The Freak talk about hilarious mugshots almost every other day on the show. That's a lot of criminals and a lot of mugshots!

However, some mugshots are simply better than others. Some of these mugshots require a bit of context, others don't need any context at all in order to be deemed entertaining. You'll find examples of both below.

As we said, putting a list together like this is tough. So many great mugshots end up on the cutting room floor. Picking the top 5 is certainly no easy feat when there are so many good ones to choose from. Instead of going around the room and picking our favorites or asking you on Facebook which ones you liked the most in 2023, we made everything much easier. We'll simply look at the numbers.

That means the results are all from hard data. There are no opinions here. These are the 5 most popular mugshots of the day from Dave & Chuck The Freak in 2023 by the numbers. Thus, in a way, you created this list. If you have a problem with the results, you have only yourself to blame!
