Boater Arrested On Nantucket Last Fall Has Pleaded Guilty

NANTUCKET – Scott Burke, the retired doctor who was charged after police searched his yacht in Nantucket Harbor last September, has reached a guilty plea.

Burke, of Key Largo, Florida, pleaded guilty to charges including possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm and ammunition without a license.

He was sentenced to one year of probation earlier this week in Nantucket District Court.
