Airboat Assault Conviction

Tanner Carr, 38, of Sebewaing, was convicted last week of assault and reckless operation of an airboat after a February incident on a Huron County canal. Carr confronted a former friend while ice fishing, drove his airboat toward him, and caused the victim’s father to fall into icy water. The father was rescued but suffered injuries. Carr denied the incident, but after trial, a jury found him guilty. He faces up to 10 years in prison, with sentencing set for February.
