Subject stated that he rented the white and orange boats from lake monroe boat rental.  Subject stated that he and several friends came to allen's creek to party with several other college students.  Subject stated that there were at least 100 people and 10-11 boats that were all tied up to each other at one point, and they arrived near allen's creek around 1430 hrs.  Subject stated that people from all of the boats were getting on and off all of the boats while they were tied together.  Subject stated that all of the boats were rental boats and they were from different rental companies at monroe reservoir.  Subject said that he didn't know some of the other people that they were tied up to.  Subject said that he came out on the orange boat, however while they were partying, he got on to the white boat.  

Subject stated that the port side of the white boat was tied with life jackets to the starboard side of the orange boat.  Subject said that while he and several others were on the white boat, the orange boat started to list to the port side, then to the starboard side.  Subject stated that as the boat listed to the starboard side it struck the canopy and railing on the white boat, damaging it.  Subject grabbed the lower deck railing on the orange boat while it listed back to the port side.  Subject stated that while this was going on, there were no occupants on the lower deck of the orange boat.  While holding on to the railing, all three men stated that they could not keep the boat from continuing to list to the port side and the orange boat rolled on to the port side of the boat, impacting the water and ejecting all passengers on the upper deck.  Subject stated that he thought that there were about 10-12 people that were thrown in to the water.  

Subject2 stated that he jumped in to the water and swam around the orange boat to see if anyone was under the boat.  Subject2 stated that he did not locate anyone and that they asked the occupants if there were any others that were not accounted for and they said that they were all accounted for.  Subject2 stated that he thought there were less than 10 people that were thrown overboard.  Subject used subject2's cell phone to call for help.  Subject stated that once the boat capsized, all other boats and passengers left the area, leaving subject, subject2, and subject3 on the white boat.  Subject had been drinking alcohol, and subject2 and subject3 stayed behind with him to drive the white boat back to the docks.  Subject stated that he lost his cell phone, a generator, and amplifier when the boat capsized.  Subject, subject2, and subject3 could not identify the people that were thrown from the upper deck of the orange boat.

Subject4 stated that several of the boats appeared to be overloaded at times, and he took pictures of them with his camera.  Subject4 said that he left the area for awhile and when he returned, the orange boat had already capsized.
