• This crazy story happened days before St. Patrick's Day: A 26-year-old Brunswick man was arrested after he climbed aboard the Savannah River Queen and damaged equipment. He told officers "the boat had angered him because of the way it was looking at him."

William Cole was apprehended after a witness alerted them about 5 a.m. that a shirtless man had climbed atop the Savannah River Queen and was breaking items off the boat. He has been charged with criminal damage to property.

Cole was holding an antenna to the boat's radio equipment in his hands atop the wheel house when police arrived. Damage to the boat before he was arrested was estimated at about $20,000.

• Also not St. Patrick's related: Police arrested and charged a 23-year-old Savannah man in the shooting death of his father.

Murder warrants were served on Torres Antwan Burroughs after his father Frank Torres Burroughs, 46, was shot about 6 p.m. The younger man was arrested by SCMPD about 9 p.m.

The elder Burroughs was transported to Memorial University Medical Center after the shooting at a residence on on Mossy Court off of Quacco Road during a domestic dispute. He was declared dead at the hospital.

• Another shooting victim has been identified. 33-year-old William Bass of Savannah was found after Downtown Precinct patrol officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 1300 block about 1:03 a.m. and found the victim had expired.
