The U.S. Coast Guard and State Police will join forces this week to crack down on drunken boaters.

Impaired boaters can expect severe penalties, including fines, jail and loss of boating or even driving privileges, according to a release from the Coast Guard.

The State Police will give boaters warnings today

that the enforcement is coming.

The operation will include increased patrols throughout state waters and conducting boating under the influence checkpoints, a release from the State Police said.

Northfield

Missing girl, 15,

found in N.C.

A missing Northfield teen has been found in North Carolina, where her 26-year-old boyfriend is now sitting in jail.

Candace Mazza, 15, was reported missing after she left her parents' home at 7 p.m. Friday and did not return. She was believed to have left voluntarily with Michael Todd Lampkin Jr., police said.

The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office in North Carolina received a call Sunday from Northfield Detective Michael Bucafurni saying that Lampkin was at a residence in Lincolnton and wanted to turn himself in, Sheriff's Department spokesman Jon Mayhew said Monday.

Lampkin was arrested without incident at the home of a relative at about 12:40 p.m. Sunday, Mayhew

said.

He is being held without bond at the Harven A. Crouse Detention Center in Lincoln pending extradition to New Jersey to face a kidnapping charge, Mayhew said.

Northfield Capt. Randy Clark said the investigation was successful thanks to a coordinated effort by Bucafurni, Detective William Ward and Patrolmen Gaetano DiMarco and Michael Bach.
