RedactedNarrative: On july 28, 2022, operator was trying to dock at the city owned docks.  He said that his friend who was intoxicated fell into the water and that he tried to steer the vessel away from him, and that combined with the wind and current caused him to lose control of his vessel and it slammed into a city owned pedestal that provides water and power hookup to vessels.  Operator then moved his vessel to the other side of the dock and got out of his vessel.  He tried to put the pedestal back into place but it was damaged severely.  Operator then left the scene and returned to his residence.  
  
  I interviewed operator the following day at his residence, and he admitted that he knew the pedestal was damaged and that he should have let the owner know about it.
