TAZEWELL COUNTY - Two Peoria men are awaiting formal charges after being arrested for a crash on the Illinois River.
The crash happened a little before 9:00 a.m. Saturday at the Peoria Lock & Dam near Creve Coeur.
William Lilenthal and Chad Robson are accused of taking a 66' houseboat from the East Port Marina without the owner's permission.
Police say the boat crashed into the dam and went over the spillway into the water below. The men were not hurt, but the dam and boat were damaged.
The Illinois Conservation Police arrested Lilenthal for reckless operation of a watercraft and theft of more than $300.
Robson was arrested for operation of a watercraft while legally drunk and theft of more than $300.
Police say Lilenthal was driving at the time of the crash, but Robson was driving before the crash.
They're expected to appear before a judge Monday.
