“Around 11:30 p.m. Monday night, a neighbor called police saying that she had lost sight of Morillo in the river.  Morillo came ashore in the U.S. at Detroit’s Renaissance Park, turned around and started home. It was then that he saw the rescue boats and helicopter. ‘As soon I saw the helicopters going by and the boats looking for me, I was like ‘Oh, this is really stupid,’’ Morillo told the Star. The Canadian Coast Guard picked up Morillo on the Ontario side of the river. He was arrested and charged with public intoxication and swimming in a shipping channel, which carries fines from $5,000 to $25,000. The Canadian Harbor Authority is inspecting the incident.”
