RedactedNarrative: V1 was recreationally cruising in the Choctawhatchee Bay north of Cobbs Point in Okaloosa County, FL with five individuals on board. V1 was traveling east towards Baytowne Wharf when it took multiple waves over the bow causing the vessel to become swamped before capsizing.  Destin Fire Rescue had located the individuals, recovered them from the water, and transported them to Joe's Bayou boat ramp. 
  While speaking with the operator, I could smell the strong odor of an unknown alcoholic beverage coming from his breath when he spoke. I also observed his eyes were bloodshot, watery, and glassy.
  
  After completing my boating accident investigation, I advised the operator I would be conducting a criminal investigation and advised of his Miranda Rights from a prepared text. The operator stated he understood his rights and agreed to answer questions without a lawyer present. At the conclusion of my criminal investigation, he was placed under arrest for boating under the influence. See Incident Summary Report, ISR053982, for further information regarding the criminal investigation.
