RedactedNarrative: On Sunday May 31, 2020 I PFC received a call from Officer Parker with NC Wildlife in reference to a boating collision that occurred on Lake Wylie SC, in the county of York. Officer with NC Wildlife advised that he began his investigation and when the complainant showed him on google maps where the collision occurred, it was determined that the collision occurred in Mill Creek which is well in South Carolina. 
  
  Officer further informed me that the collision occurred on May 23rd, but the complainant did not report it right away. When I asked Officer what happened with the collision, he stated that a Jet Ski had struck the side of a anchored boat.  Officer then informed me that he would get pictures and statements from both parties and we would get together later that week so he could give me the information. 
  
  On June 3rd, 2020 I spoke with the complainant who initially called in the boating collision. Operator1 advised that on May 23rd, him along with his girlfriend and sister were meeting up with some friends on Lake Wylie. Operator1 further informed me that when they had gotten to where the other parties were, he anchored and was rafted up to others boats that were in the cove. Operator1 further stated that his sister and girlfriend was sitting on the bow of the boat when He heard the Jet Ski coming towards his boat.  Operator1 then stated that he jumped out of the way and Jet Ski struck the side of his boat hitting the center console seat and then going back into the water. Operator1 told me that no one was hurt but, shortly after he took his boat back out of the water because he was afraid that it might be taking on water. 
  
  On the evening of June 3rd, 2020 I spoke with the operator of the Jet Ski via telephone to get her side of story. Operator2 informed me that her and another friend wanted to go for a ride on the Jet Ski so they got on it.   Operator2 further informed me that she was attempting to slow down and turn the Jet Ski not realizing that when you let off the throttle, you lose control of steering. Operator2 then stated that as they were headed back to where the other boats were, that's when she struck the side of the other vessel. I advised Operator2 that she was at fault of the boating collision and that I needed to meet with her in reference to writing her a ticket for Negligent Boat Operation.
