The owner of a Lake County boat rental business is facing new charges after she was accused of throwing a customer's phone into a suburban lake in front of deputies last year.Kristen Wooden, 36, has been charged with committing forgery and stealing money from customers of The Boatyard, located at 42125 North 4th Avenue in unincorporated Antioch, according to a statement from the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
The man provided documentation to authorities that showed he had recently purchased the boat from The Boatyard, and the business had no authority to rent it. The sheriff's office said it determined Wooden sold the man the boat but refused to give him the boat's title.On July 17, a person who rented a boat from The Boatyard began having mechanical problems while on the Chain O'Lakes and returned to the business.
