Harry Phillips contacted police on an issue about the eyesore Casey barge across from Ross's Landing Park.
Police said Mr. Phillips was out on a pontoon boat so they wound up calling him on a cell phone.
He said he wanted David Eck to "stay away from" the barge that mostly sank recently. He said he also wanted him off the nearby Casey property on shore.
Police said since the former riverboat captain has been on the barge property for over a month it might be necessary to formally seek to evict him.

The manager of the Kangaroo Express said the store was flimflammed out of $1,212.85.
