Police have identified and charged the intoxicated man who allegedly stole a yacht from the Allegheny River last week.
Authorities say 38-year-old Michael Fischer broke into the Lock Wall Marina off 23rd Street in the Strip early Friday morning.
They say Fischer boarded and unmoored an 82-foot yacht, and then floated downriver to where the boat came to rest along the river wall.
The man faces charges of theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property and defiant trespassing.
Fischer told police the reason he took the boat was because he simply wanted to meet some Pittsburgh Pirates.
