Viral Star Lieutenant Dan Arrested
Joseph Malinowski, known as “Lieutenant Dan” for his Hurricane Milton survival on a sailboat, has been arrested. Police initially warned him to move his boat due to human waste disposal issues but returned Friday to find it still there.
Outstanding Warrants and Criminal History
Malinowski is now facing two outstanding warrants for failing to appear in court. His arrest record shows a history of criminal charges, including a recent misdemeanor for operating a boat without a certificate of title and a felony assault on a police officer.
Gasoline Incident
In February, Malinowski allegedly poured gasoline on a bench and ignited it during an argument with a woman in Florida. The woman was unharmed but reported fearing for her life. The case was later dropped, but it highlights Malinowski’s concerning behavior.
Safety Concerns
