On 01/28/2018 at 0647hours, officers received a call from Headquarters about a boat incident on the Buffalo River in Wilkinson County.  Report was a pontoon boat capsized and two adults and one juvenile was missing.  Officers arrived on the scene and observed a upside down pontoon boat in the water.  Subject stated he was ferrying hunters out to the pontoon, which was converted to a duck blind.  When the last person got on the pontoon, it quickly rolled upside down.  Three subjects escaped.  Subject stated he jumped in and tried to get to others, but he couldn't.  Divers recovered two bodies and one yellow labrador retriever dog around 1230 hours and last victim was recovered at 1459 hours.  

Subject stated the pontoon was converted into a duck blind and they would tow it out and anchor it in river each year.  Officers stated the materials on blind was plywood, steel tubing, tin and aluminum.  Being top heavy and weight of six people and a dog was a factor.  Also officers stated that one of the pontoons had a sizable amount of water in it, which probably played a role.

Once the officers arrived and assessed the incident, the owner and operator of the vessel stated that he was heading south on the waterway back to Crows-Neck boat ramp when he felt a vibration coming from the vessel's motor. 

Operator reached back with his left hand to figure out what the vibration was while he continued to steer with his right hand. As Operator was tending to the vibration, he let his right arm turn the wheel toward the east. Operator stated that he was turning back around to the bow of the boat, it was too late to correct the vessel and he collided with the rocks that line the waterway on the eastern side. 

Operator's vessel was damaged to the point that it was rapidly taking on water so he tied it to the rocks and began to run the bilge pump. The pump was not making the water exit faster than it was coming in so the boat was still sinking. 

Operator said to the officers that he had been drinking. The portable breath test was administered and Operator registered a 0.106. Operator was transported to Tishomingo County Jail and was then administered the Intoxilyzer breath test. Operator registered a 0.063 on this test. Operator was issued a reckless operation citation.

Testimony: "we out in at tunica cut off and ran down to section called ok pocket, went there and proceeded to fish then headed to a flooded field a good ways down ok pocket. As we entered the field we began to fish again. After fishing a bank about 25 to 30 minutes we were swept away in a current that we couldn't get out of. 

The current slammed us into two trees damaging the left side of the boat in different spots and twisted the trolling motor and ripping the light off and slamming the motor against another tree damaging the prop and possibly more inside the foot of the motor. 

The boat was side ways against the trees and we were taking on water over the right side of the boat. After the current pushed us out of there we were slammed into another tree on the right side of the boat as well. Once we were out we found our way to the levee road where we called tunica coumty sheriff's deputy to pick us up and took us to get our truck and trailer."
