Here’s a story involving a doctor and charges of drugs and guns on his 80-foot yacht in Nantucket, from Fox News:
Just what the doctor ordered — cocaine, ketamine, guns and prostitutes on a multimillion-dollar, 80-foot luxury yacht moored in Massachusetts’ Nantucket Harbor on Tuesday.
Police responding to a call to dispatch about a woman’s possible overdose aboard the Jess Conn, a “petite superyacht” built by Nordhavn in 2021, have arrested its owner, a former physician from Colorado who retired to Florida.
Scott Burke, the yachtsman, faces a dozen drug and firearms charges following the encounter and a search warrant served on his vessel.
Authorities, including the U.S. Coast Guard, Nantucket police and the local harbormaster, boarded the craft Tuesday morning and found a disoriented woman in the master bedroom.
“[She] appeared to be under the influence of an unknown substance,” a police statement of facts read. “She also stated that she did not feel safe.”
She was taken to the Nantucket Cottage Hospital, police said.
Police also found a loaded handgun and a pink bag of cocaine in the room, the court documents allege. After obtaining a search warrant, police say they recovered 43.4 grams of cocaine and 14.1 grams of ketamine.
A source close to the investigation reportedly told the Nantucket Current that authorities also encountered prostitutes on board.
“That’s certainly not in my press release,” Lt. Angus MacVicar, the Nantucket Police Department’s public information officer, told Fox News Digital on Thursday.
Burke allegedly told police he had a license for the handguns — but police said his Florida license was not only invalid in Massachusetts, it expired last year.
