According to the public prosecutor, the indictment against Horner is punished to life in prison.

After a heated confrontation, he was arrested with another boat driver at the Peace River in Punta Gorda, which has been recorded in viral video material since then.

The investigators say that Horner had climbed the other Boater ship before grabbing the boat driver, which led to his arrest.

Florida Fish and Wildlife also cited Horner for the careless operation of his boat, improper registration and operation without salt water charta captain license.

Horner was originally represented by lawyer Scott Weinberg, who published a declaration of apology on behalf of Horner. Horner then applied for a public defender before hiring the private lawyer Benjamin Abdulnour as his lawyer. It was released with a bond of 20,000 US dollars.

Horner will be expected back to court on June 10th.
