Vessel was being transferred from Alabama to Mississippi. Vessel took wrong turn into Bear Creek and ran aground in Alabama. It was towed into deeper water and brought to marina at J.P. Coleman State Park to be put on semi trailer. The water level was to low to accommodate such a large vessel. The owner decided to leave vessel tied to fuel dock until the vessel could be taken to Aqua Yacht Harbor to be lift out by crane. While the vessel was tied to dock in sank sometime in the night. Possible cause is damage to the hull received when the boat ran aground a few days ago. Officer received report of this accident after the vessel had sunk. He took this statement from the owner. No operator information was reported.
