A man with numerous aliases, a lengthy criminal record and no permanent address was arrested in Lighthouse Point on Monday while carrying a case of water and a backpack to a stolen sailboat, according to a police report.
Keith Richard Wheeler, 41, allegedly stole the boat, a 1972 39-foot Ericson valued at $75,000, from Palm Beach County on Sunday.
A day after reporting the boat stolen to the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office, owner Roger Rogers, of Greenacres, alerted authorities that a boat matching the description of his vessel might be docked behind a Lighthouse Point home.
