RedactedNarrative: On 8-22-10, Officers were dispatched to a boat accident on Lake Shafer just north of the Double Shot on Lake Shafer.  There were four boats in the area.  The boats involved were a Godfrey Pontoon boat and a Stingray skiboat.  The other two boats witnessed the accident.
  Vessel #2 (the Stingray) and the other two boats were on the east side of the lake headed in a southern direction.  Vessel #1 (the Godfrey pontoon) was headed in a south western direction from the opposite side of the lake.  The pontoon was attempting to get to the east side of the lake to drop off a passenger on the shore.  As the boast approached each other, they both put the boats in neutral and attempted to steer away from each other.  The two boats collided.  Vessel #2 struck Vessel #1 with the front part of its boat near the bow eye.  It damaged the front right corner of the pontoon as well as the bow eye to the Stingray.  The boats continued to make contact with each other causing further damage.  The bow eye of Vessel #2 then struck the right pontoon near the tip of the pontoon.  That contact caused the tip of the pontoon to become punctured and bent the tip towards the middle of the boat.  The port side of Vessel #2 has damage to the fiberglass in three different locations.
  Vessel #2 and the other two boats had the right of way due to the direction that the boats were traveling.  The operators of the boats and the witnesses all agree on the direction of the boats and the events of the incident.
