A Florida man caught on video allegedly climbing on board another man’s boat and threatening him now faces felony burglary charges.

Brock Horner, 40, was arrested by the Punta Gorda Police Department on April 4, after a video in which he can be heard cursing out another boater went viral.

In a press release, police said that Horner was taken into custody and booked into the Charlotte County Jail following an investigation into the alleged April 1, incident. According to police, Horner “pulled his vessel alongside the victim’s boat without permission and unlawfully boarded it” then “threatened the victim, escalating the situation into a criminal offense.”

The alleged victim, 22-year-old Gage Towles, posted the rage-filled exchange on YouTube, where it has been viewed nearly 365,000 times as of this writing.
