On 6-25-2011 wco was patrolling east lake vermillion by boat when he got a report of a boating accident near the east boat ramp of east lake vermillion. O/o1 and p1 were operating the boat near the east boat ramp waiting to put the boat back on the trailer and pull it out of the water. O/o1 was driving south along the east side of east lake vermillion when he noticed he was heading for a rock jetty at full throttle. O/o1 stated the throttle stuck and he turned the boat east towards shore. The boat struck the rock jetty as it was turning resulting in the boat sustaining damage to the hull on the starboard side near the bottom. 

The o/o1 was thrown through the windshield of the boat and landed on the rock jetty where he struck his head on the rocks and split his upper lip vertically. 

O/o1 was arrested by wco for operating a boat under the influence of alcohol. The resulting blood results came back with a .266 percent alcohol by weight. 

No pfds were worn at the time of accident.
