Region Man pleads guilty in hoax to Coast Guard

A Detroit man is facing up to six years in prison after pleading guilty Thursday to making a hoax call about a capsized boat to the U.S. Coast Guard, costing the government $53,000 in search
and rescue efforts.
Craig Sanders, 32, made the fake call March 11. He said his boat was in Lake Erie and that he couldn't find his buddy, authorities said. An eight-hour Coast Guard search-and-rescue mission included units from Ohio and a helicopter from the Air National Guard Base.
Sanders will be sentenced Sept. 6. He faces a possible $250,000 fine and could be held liable for the search and rescue costs.
