NARRATIVE-

     On Thursday 09/06/2012 at approximately 1700 hours I was called by an employee working at the Sand Hollow Rangers Station.  The employee stated a fisherman on the lake heard a crash in the middle of the lake.  I was also informed the fisherman observed two Jet Skis in the middle of the lake and thought they had crashed into each other.  
     I made contact with two males on two Jet Skis in the middle of the lake.  The males were V2 and Subject.  I asked the males if they had been in an accident.  The males informed me, V2 and V1 were driving the Jet Ski's.  They also told me that V2 accidentally jumped over the top of the Jet Ski V1 was driving.  I collected statements from each individual.  
     Subject informed me the Jet Ski V1 was driving was not steering correctly.  I towed the jet ski to the south beach where the group was staying.  I was unsure of the amount of damage to the PWC's.  I asked Subject if he wanted an accident report for the damage.  Subject informed me his friend V2 wanted to pay for the Jet Ski's and he did not want to do an accident report.  
     I asked V2 and V1 if they were wearing life jackets.  They told me they were not wearing them.  I asked them if they knew the rules of the lake as they pertain to Jet Ski's\?  They did not.  I informed them they could be issued citations for speed and proximity.  I also told them while riding on the lake they needed to stay at least 150 feet away from other boaters and/or swimmers in the lake.  I told them I was not going to issue citations for the violations.
