Shortly before 11:00 a.m. on July 15, a large dark "ball" floated down the
Niagara River and over the Falls. When retrieved by Maid of the Mist employees,
the man who identified himself as Nathan Boya emerged from this 544 kg, 3m diameter
rubber ball. |
Niagara Parks Police were there to greet him and as a result Boya has the distinction
of being the first person to be charged and convicted under the Niagara Parks
Act.
Boya was fined $100 and costs of $13. He gave no explanation for his trip,
simply saying, "I had to do it, I wanted to do it, and I am glad I did it." Today
Fitzgerald lives in the New York City area.
