RedactedNarrative: On May 7th 2014, I Officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Division of Law Enforcement responded to a boating accident that occurred early morning on the Pithlachascotee River in Pasco County. I arrived at Nic's Park boat ramp at approximately 0330 hours. I observed a Jon boat in the water with severe damage to the bow. 
  
  I spoke with Officer who was already on scene. Officer advised me that the operator had already been transported to Bayonet Point Hospital but two occupants were still on scene. I interviewed the first occupant who stated she was the operator's boyfriend. Occupant1 stated they were at Seaside Inn having a few drinks and her boyfriend met the other passenger at the bar. Once the bar closed they got on the boat to head to their campsite at Durney Key. While traveling at a high rate of speed they hit something and were ejected from the boat. Occupant1 did not know what they hit or where they were at the time of impact. Occupant1 filled out a witness statement of what happened. 
  
  I interview the second occupant. Occupant2 was slurring his speech and I could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage. Occupant2's head had a laceration and that had already been treated by EMS. Occupant2 stated that he was on the vessel going fast when all of a sudden he was in the water. Occupant2 only remembered going fast and ending up in the water. Occupant2 stated that he just met the couple. I asked him how did he meet them. Occupant2 stated he started taking shots with operator and then was invited to go on a boat ride. I did not get a witness statement from Occupant2 because his hands were covered with blood. 
  
  Officer with Port Richey Police Department was also on scene. Officer stated they received a call of a vessel in distress in front of the Sand Pebble Pointe Condo's. Officer went by vessel and located the distressed vessel near marker 22. All subjects were incoherent at the time. The vessel was towed to Nic's Park boat ramp to meet EMS. Officer observed Operator behind the helm of the vessel. 
  
  Investigator arrived on scene to assist. Inv and I examined the vessel. I observed the bow of the vessel to have severe damage. On the bow of the vessel were pieces of oyster. In the vessel I observed a Bud Light can. Inv. photographed the vessel. 
  
  Inv. went to Bayonet Pointe Hospital to check on the condition of Operator. Inv. determined his injuries were not that of great bodily harm. Inv. read Operator the Miranda warning before beginning question of boating under the influence. Operator invoked his right to remain silent. 
  
  
  The vessel was released to the owner Occupant1. Officer arrived on scene. Officer and I located the marker that was struck by the vessel. Marker 23 had fresh scratches and the oysters that attached themselves to the marker where impacted and broken. There were pieces of oyster that had not been washed away by the incoming tide. I photographed the marker. 
  
  On May 12th I interviewed Operator in order to complete my boating crash investigation. Operator stated he was driving with his girlfriend to the left of him and Occupant2 in front. Operator stated he was traveling full speed when he hit the marker. Operator stated he was camping on the Durney Key since the night before and where leaving Seaside Inn to go back and camp. Operator stated he just got the boat and this was his first time taking it out. But he has commercial fished with Jon boats and is familiar with how to use them. 
  
  On May 13th I sent a subpoena request to the State Attorney's Office. The request is for medical records of Operator's treatment at Bayonet Point.
