RedactedNarrative: On August 25 EPO responded to a boating accident that occurred on Aug 24 in the Wickford Harbor.  The vessels involved were a 33’ Trojan that collided into a moored 35’ sailboat.  Boat owner/operator of the 33’ Trojan reported to police that he, his son, and two friends went fishing off of Block Island on 8-24-15.  They left Block Island around 6pm and traveled into Newport and had a few drinks.  After leaving Newport, Operator1 stated that he had struck a “green buoy” near the Newport Bridge causing a hole in the front of the hull. Operator1 brought the boat into Wickford, tied up the boat and then got into an argument with his son.  He said he was so full of anger that he got back into his boat and left Wickford Harbor at a high speed of rate.  While leaving the harbor he hit a moored sailboat, did not stop and continued east.   
  
  Around 11:32pm Operator1 was stopped by the Coast Guard and NK Fire under the Verrazano Bridge in Jamestown.  A witness who observed the hit-and-run incident reported it to police.   EPO issued Operator1 two citations:  1) RITT for OPERATING AN UNREGISTERED BOAT and NAVIGATION LIGHTS REQUIRED; 2) summons for RECKLESS OPERATION OF A VESSEL and NO WAKE ZONE
