RedactedNarrative: 	On July 27, 2017, I, Cpl. received a phone call from the GSP dispatch in reference to a boating incident on Lake Oconee.  The dispatcher advised me of a boating incident involving a PWC and a vessel.  The dispatcher stated there were injuries and that EMS had been notified and were in route.  I called RFC to assist with the boating incident.
  
  	Upon arrival, I made contact with a Putnam County Deputy.  The Deputy stated there was not a vessel involved in the incident.  The Deputy stated the operator of the PWC was hit by another PWC that left the scene of the incident.  I spoke with Operator1.  Operator1 stated he was near the Old Phoenix Road Bridge turning circles when he was hit and thrown from the vessel.  Operator1 could not remember what the PWC that hit him looked like and he could not identify the operator of the other vessel.  Operator1 had a bruise on his left leg near the ankle but stated he didn’t need medical attention.  Operator1 stated he was riding rental PWC’s and was with his friend.
  	
  	I interviewed Friend.  Friend stated he was a good distance from his friend when he noted a blue over black PWC come out of know where and hit Operator1’s PWC.  Friend described the operator as a white male in their mid- twenties early thirties and had a scruffy beard.  Friend could not describe the life vest that was worn by the suspected operator and was not able to recall a registration number on the vessel.  Friend stated the subject ran into his friend and immediately left the scene.  I asked Friend which direction the offender ski traveled and he pointed to the main part of the lake.  Friend stated he was more concerned about his friend and did not pursue the offender vessel.  
  
  	Rangers and I looked at the two PWC’s.  We noted there was damage on the port side of Operator1’s PWC.  The damage was to the handlebars and near the foot area on Operator1’s PWC.  We looked at the PWC that Friend was driving and we did not see very much damage.  The damage we did see was from damage caused by rentals.  
  
  	On July 28, 2017, I had Cpl. from the CIRT team come look at the two PWC’s.  After going over the two skies, we were not able to make a determination that Friend was involved in the incident.  I went to the vessel repair and boat dealers looking for a PWC matching the description.  I advised them to contact me if a damaged PWC came in for repairs.  I completed a report for the owner of the rental skis.
