RedactedNarrative: A vessel pulling out from the fuel docks at Black Rock Marina, started having steering trouble and collided with an unoccupied vessel that was docked.
  Upon arrival, deputies found that the operator of the striking vessel was no longer on scene.  They contacted the Marina Manager.  The manager stated that he did not see the accident occur, but did talk to the boat operator after the crash.  The manager called the sheriff's office due to the amount of damage caused by the accident.  The Marina manager indicated that the operator stated that he was at the marina to fuel his boat, when he was leaving, he started having steering problems and hit a docked boat.  Deputies attempted several times, without success, to meet with the boat operator and have him give a statement and fill out a boat accident report.  Based on evidence from the damage to the docked boat and the statements made by witnesses, officers concluded the operator of the boat was in violation of Interference with Navigation, Action to Avoid Collision, and failure to Report an Accident.
