Huizenga's Step Son BUI Arrest

FORT LAUDERDALE - Police today released a 911 call by an anxious woman who said a stranger was trying to break into her home, a man who investigators say was former Miami Dolphins' owner and billionaire businessman H. Wayne Huizenga's son.

Robert Ray Huizenga, 47, was arrested and charged with drunken boating after police said he tried to dock at the wrong house on a Fort Lauderdale canal Monday night.

"I have someone who is banging on my door and trying to open up my door at my home," the caller told 911.

She said two men had pulled up to her dock and she was scared.

The mistake, which led to Huizenga's fourth arrest on DUI charges, could send him to prison for five years, officials said Tuesday.

Ray Huizenga is on probation for a 2003 drunken-driving incident that left a 71-year-old pedestrian with a concussion, a gashed head and a broken elbow.

The call to Fort Lauderdale police at about 11:15 p.m. Monday regarding a suspected burglary in the 300 block of Lido Drive south of Las Olas Boulevard triggered Huizenga's latest arrest.

The caller told police two men were trying to open her rear door.

When officers arrived, Patrick Stewart, 44, was on the property and Huizenga was aboard a 2005 Jupiter Marine International vessel with its motor running in the canal, a police report said.

Huizenga smelled strongly of alcohol and had slurred speech, according to the report, and told officers he was at his home. He was not.

His home is on the other side of the canal, according to police and property records.

Huizenga was charged with boating under the influence and refusing to submit to an alcohol test, and taken to the county jail.

On Tuesday, a judge ordered him held without bond because he may have violated his probation.

Huizenga's defense attorney, David Bogenschutz, said the police report for the latest case appeared muddled.

"The probable cause affidavit is a little fractured," he said. "It's just difficult to connect the dots...they're all over the place."

Huizenga will likely remain jailed at least until a bond hearing. Although Bogenschutz said he would "rapidly" request the hearing, he said it probably won't happen before Friday.

If a judge finds Huizenga violated probation, he could face five years in prison, said Ron Ishoy, spokesman for the Broward State Attorney's Office.

On Dec. 5, 2003, Huizenga hit Irwin Louis Feigenbaum with his Range Rover as Feigenbaum crossed Las Olas Boulevard.

Huizenga faced up to six years in prison when he pleaded no contest to a felony DUI charge and a misdemeanor count of refusing to submit to a blood/breath test.

Circuit Judge Michael Kaplan imposed a 120-day jail sentence to be followed by a year of house arrest.

Huizenga spent a year appealing the sentence and then ultimately served 83 days in jail and won a bid to end house arrest more than five months early.

At numerous court hearings, Huizenga voiced his dedication to recovery and sobriety.

On Nov. 19, 2006, he told a judge: "I am not the reckless person that I once was."

Stewart, his companion Monday, was charged with trespassing, possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana. He bailed out of jail Tuesday.

I've seen that boat go by here a few times. Amazing he found his canal but then forgot what his house looked like.

Yeah saw that on the news. Daddy bought him a nice 31 Jupiter.

And he actually was on the wrong canal, he needed to be one canal over. I have been by his daddy's house many times. Thats where he supposed to be going.

"The caller told police two men were trying to open her rear door."

Every girl has her limits, and i guess double teamed was it for that one.

Worthless kids of the rich and famous. Gotta make a dad proud. Fixing your F-ed up kids is one of the few things $$$$ do.

Put him in jail and take away his license. I am always amazed when I read about someone killed by a drunk driver and then they go on to say that the individual had been arrested for DWI numerous times before. What is wrong with the legal system in this country? Why do we let these people keep on doing this time and time again until they kill an innocent bystander? Sometimes I feel like I must be a square peg trying to fit into a round hole because I just don't get it? Am I wrong?

If his dad wasn't famous, this wouldn't be newsworthy.

Imagine living in the shadow, trying to live up to expectations when your father is the only person in history to have founded three different Fortune 500 companies.

I've met this fellow - he was stone sober and a likable guy. I didn't know who he was and he introduced himself by first name. But, by nature, substance abusers are social people.

I've done some stupid things, but have never been stupid enough to actually get caught at any of them.

You've got to have some compassion for someone who has the spotlight on him all the time.

This is a psychological and medical problem. Lock him up, maybe, but in a place that will actually put him through a good program.
