He then became belligerent and stated that he was going on the Jetty to fish and that he will go on the beach and there is nothing I could do to stop him. He then started saying F*** you, shut the f*** up, you stupid f***. I separated myself from him and continued my patrol, when I returned he was gone but his vehicle remained.
