A man has been charged with making a false distress call to the U.S. Coast Guard in Maine that resulted in a more than five-hour search by boat and helicopter.

Thirty-one-year-old Nathan Libby was charged with making the fake call on Dec. 3 via radio.

Authorities say the caller said “we lost our rudder,” “we are taking on water fast,” and “our pumps can’t keep up with this.” The caller said he was on a 42-foot boat in Spruce Head Harbor.

Libby is scheduled to be in court Monday.

A lawyer was not listed for him in court documents.
