RedactedNarrative: I received a call from Raleigh Dispatch in reference to a boat incident that occurred near the Ebenezer Church Recreational Area on Jordan Lake around 15:15 on May 28, 2017.  I arrived to the scene at approximately 15:30.  Upon arrival, I found the two vessels that were involved in the incident banked on the Ebenezer Church Recreational Area.  The individuals involved showed no signs of needing medical attention.  I spoke to both parties separately and obtained their information and identification.  I charged the operator of the PWC, with a citation of operating a PWC without it first being registered.  Operator2 was also given two written warnings, operating a PWC within 50 feet of the side of another vessel while not at no-wake speed and for not completing the boater safety requirements prior to operating the PWC.
  
  On May 28, 2017 at approximately 15:15, vessel #1 was traveling north and vessel #2 came from the starboard side of vessel #1.  The operator of vessel #2 noticed vessel #1 and released the throttle of the PWC then turned to the right.  
  
  Vessel #1 noticed vessel #2 approaching, so he placed the boat in neutral.  The operator of vessel #2 not knowing that once you release the throttle on a PWC, you lose control of the steering, turned vessel #2 to the left to try to avoid colliding with vessel #1.  
  
  Vessel #2 collided with vessel #1 striking the front starboard side.  Vessel #2 ramped up onto vessel #1 and continued to slide across the starboard side of vessel #1.  The collision resulted in a damaged starboard side hull with damage to the paint job and damage to the front windshield frame on vessel #1.  Vessel #1 also had the rear starboard side cleat torn off.  Vessel #2 had scratches along the bottom of the starboard side and a small notch/gap possibly where the vessel struck the cleat of vessel #1.
