  On May 11th at approximately 1108 hours, I obtained a warrant to search the pontoon.  After obtaining the search warrant, Corporal and I went to the pontoon's location at Hartwell Marina.  I observed a receipt on the boat from Walmart, where someone had purchased beer prior to the incident (see photograph 0007).  I observed a cooler with several iced beer in the boat.  The pontoon had all of the required safety equipment onboard.  After searching the inside of the vessel, we asked the marina staff to remove the pontoon from the water with a fork lift.  We noticed a green shirt was torn and wrapped in the propeller (see photograph 0017).  I noticed each blade on the propeller was freshly broken off (see photograph 0020).   We removed the propeller with the shirt attached, and seized it as evidence.  Additionally, we seized the Walmart receipt.
