FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla. - The U.S. Coast Guard arrested 18-year old Yan Carlos Revireos-Carmello in suspicion of being on board a smuggling vessel.

Officials say they stopped his boat off Fort Myers Beach and found extra food, water, and gas for an extra long trip.

The U.S. Coast guard says they received a phone call Wednesday night regarding a suspicious looking boat, and when they tried to pull over Carmello's boat, he wouldn't stop.

The case is still under investigation.
