On 06/10/2013, I (CPO) was notified of a boating accident via the telephone by the operator of Vessel #2. Operator2 provided a verbal account of the events pertaining to the boating accident.
 
Operator2 provided pictures of the event and also provided pictures of his damaged vessel resulting from the boating accident. Lastly, Operator2 provided a diagram of the event, diagram of the damage to his vessel, statement, and a repair estimate from Skyway Yacht Works. These aforementioned pictures and documents are attached to this report.

I spoke with the operator of Vessel #1. Operator1 gave me a verbal account of the boating accident. Operator1 also provided a statement which is attached to this report.

During the investigation into this boating accident, it was learned witness witnessed this boating accident. I made contact with witness who provided a statement which is attached to this report.

Based on statements, diagrams, and an investigation into this boating accident, it was determined operator1 entered the main channel interfering with the safe navigation of the vessel operated by operator2. 

I issued Operator1 a citation for unlawful interference with navigation. I spoke with operator1 and informed him he wold be receiving a citation as a result of his actions operating his vessel and his involvement with this boating accident. 

The citation was transfered to Officer of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Office of Law Enforcement so Officer could serve Operator1 the citation seeing he lived in Officer patrol area in the State of Michigan.

Nothing Further.
