RedactedNarrative: On April 19, 2019 at approximately 12:55 p.m., I (Off. of The Maryland Natural Resources Police) was on patrol when I received a call from the Natural Resources Police Communications Center about a possible abandoned vessel on a private dock. The complainant advised that “Three employees from Len’s Marina took the vessel to search for a missing person”.  I immediately called Lens Marina and asked to have their employees bring the vessel back to the dock. Ofc. arrived on scene and secured the vessel onto  Subject1’s dock. 
  Subject1 explained that at approximately 01:00 p.m. a 30ft Salt Shaker vessel, bearing Maryland registration 7288 BT “lightly crashed” onto his dock.  He stated that both motors were in gear and with one still running. He called Len’s Marina assuming that one of their vessels drifted onto his property. Subject2 advised there was an empty bottle of vodka on the floor of the vessel and took Victim’s vessel to look for any victims that may have fallen into the water.  Subject1 then stated  that’s when he called the Maryland Natural Resources Communications Center to report this incident.
