Jack Sparrow Wannabe Hijacker

A woman who was high on drink and drugs, stole a passenger ferry and crashed into boats shouting "I'm Jack Sparrow!". Alison Whelan, 51, was crazy when she climbed onto the docked 100-seater Dart Princess in Dartmouth Devon. She was so drunk she even called 999 and officers raced to the scene. However she had already started driving the ferry away. The boat hit other vessels sailing "like a pinball machine". After 1 hour, she was stopped by lifeboats and towed Whelan and her accomplice back to shore. Alison Whelan pleaded guilty and was jailed for 122 days, she caused about £1,500 damage to the ferry itself, and about £300 to a docked Tomcat. Before the hijacking, she was drinking Lambrini and eating poisonous hallucinogenic plants and she then decided to go to a ferry.
