3 Arrests Made At Jobbie Nooner

CLAY TOWNSHIP (WWJ) -- Thousands of people gathered on and around Gull Island on the St. Clair River Friday for the annual Jobbie Nooner party, but it was not without a few problems among the revelers.

According to St. Clair County Sheriff Tim Donnellon, a total of three arrests were made during the course of the event.

Deputies from the Sheriff's Office Marine Division made one arrest for operating a boat while impaired and one for disorderly conduct. Clay Township police officers made an arrest on Gull Island for felonious assault.

"By and large the people attending this event are just looking to enjoy the day," Donnellon said.  "There are always a few that step outside boundaries, but we had relatively few problems with the boaters.  I would like to thank all of the agencies that worked along with us to help keep Jobbie Nooner reasonably safe."

There were two reported medical transports during the event. One was for an incapacitated person, the other was the victim of the felonious assault on Gull Island.
