RedactedNarrative: On February 23, 2017 at 11:29hrs., Sgt. had just completed an investigation of a "suspicious vessel" at Punta Rassa Boat Ramp located at 15001 Punta Rassa Rd. Ft. Myers, Florida, When Sgt. told the subjects that they were free to leave, they backed the boat away from the boat ramp with two subjects onboard. 
  
  Vessel #1 then proceeded to the southernmost dock to pick up the third passenger. Vessel #1 positioned it's bow towards the dock so that the passenger could board the vessel. Vessel #1 then drifted back approximately four feet (4') from the dock. The operator of vessel #1 then thought he was in reverse and attempted to back away from the dock, however he was still engaged in forward gear. The operator of vessel #1 accelerated the throttle of the boat and then struck and powered itself onto the dock, temporarily "wedging itself' between two pilings. 
  
  The result of this collision caused damaged to both port and starboard sides of Vessel #1, cracking the fiberglass above the rub rail. The synthetic deck boards of the dock were "gouged" and the two pilings were "scuffed up", but the dock does not appear to have structural damage. 
  
  The point of collision was between the fourteenth and fifteenth piling from the parking lot on the southernmost dock (closest to "A Span").
