‘Heavily intoxicated’ man arrested after allegedly beating children aboard Carnival cruise ship, police say
A 44-year-old Georgia man, David Lawrence Crosby II, was arrested after allegedly assaulting two children who were playing tag aboard a Carnival cruise ship. The incident is significant because it prompted child-abuse charges and the passenger was reportedly confined to his cabin for the rest of the voyage.
Brevard County Sheriff’s Office records show Crosby was arrested on 27 July on two counts of child abuse. The alleged assault occurred on 26 July, and police said he was heavily intoxicated; the available report does not state the children’s ages or describe their injuries.
