A Columbia man accused of stealing a boat and taking it for a joyride Monday afternoon may be getting off a bit easy. Initial reports indicated that Justin Coil could face charges for theft of a boat, careless and imprudent operation of a vessel, and no flotation device after he was ejected from the boat and injured. As of Tuesday afternoon, however, the only charge officially filed against him is the felony for first-degree tampering with a motorboat. Coil suffered minor injuries during the escapade.
