ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Coast Guard Marine Safety and Security Team boarding officers, Coast Guard cutter Hickory boarding officers and Alaska State Trooper Shannon Fore discuss how to proceed with Cooper Wellman, Big Lake resident and repeat offender Sunday. Wellman has refused for years to register his wave runner. Wellman also had an expired fire extinguisher onboard. He was issued a citation for not having registration and his voyage was terminated because of the fire extinguisher. The Hickory - AST team escorted Wellman back to his dock.
