RedactedNarrative: On August 27, 2016 at approximately 2040 hours I was dispatched to respond to a boating accident that occurred on South Holston Lake in Sullivan County, Tennessee.  I drove to Holston Valley Medical Center in Kingsport where one of the individuals involved in the incident was transported. 
  
  I advised officers of the traffic and requested their assistance. Officer1 made contact with an individual believed to be involved in the incident at the Observation Knob boat ramp on South Holston Lake. 
  
  I arrived at the Holston Valley Medical Center at around 2153 hours. I met Officer2 at the hospital who had already arrived and was with the individual believed to be involved in the incident. 
  
  Officer2 and I gathered statements and evidence while at the hospital. I contacted my Lieutenant and advised him of the incident. I also contacted Officer3 and advised him to collect evidence, take statements, and seize the vessel involved while he was at the scene of the boat ramp. I traveled to Bowser Ridge at around 2353 hours to view the vessel and organize my paperwork.
  
  On August 28, 2016 I obtained permission to download GPS data from his GPS system which was on board his vessel. Officer4 downloaded the GPS data.
  
  On August 28, 2016 Officers and I performed an inventory of vessel. During the inventory, we recovered a green leafy substance that appeared to be marijuana, a marijuana grinder, and two marijuana pipes. These items were located in a compartment between the driver and passenger seat.
  
  On August 29, 2016 I spoke with Sullivan County ADA about the incident. I advised him of the potential violations and spoke with him about the case.
  
  On September 1, 2016 Officer and I met with Operator1 to return his vessel and perform a second interview. I read Operator1 his Miranda Warning and advised him of the contraband that we had found during the inventory of his vessel. Operator1 stated that he had been aware of the marijuana, pipes, and grinder and that he had smoked marijuana at around 10:00 am on August 27, 2016.
  
  Based on Witness Statements: 
  On 8/27/16 Operator1 and subject were involved in a local fishing tournament on South Holston Lake in Sullivan County.  Operator1 and Subject were in Operator1''s bass style Triton boat near the Observation Knob boat ramp. Operator1 was operating the vessel. The tournament began with a shotgun type start.
  
   Operator1 was traveling approximately 70+ miles per hour and was one of 3 boats from the tournament that were traveling in the same direction. Operator1 was traveling around a point and he observed a pontoon boat coming in his direction. Operator1 attempted to avoid the path of the pontoon boat by slightly reducing his speed and maneuvering behind one of the other bass boats in the tournament. 
  
  Operator1''s boat hit the wake of another boat and caused an abrupt change in direction. This direction change caused Operator1 and Subject to eject into the water. 
  
  During the ejection, Operator1''s arm suffered a deep laceration.  Two individuals picked up Operator1 and Subject in separate boats. A tourniquet was applied to Operator1''s arm due to the severe bleeding. Operator1 was transported to Observation Knob boat ramp and then to the Holston Valley Medical Center where he was treated for his injuries. Subject was uninjured and returned Operator1''s boat to Observation Knob boat ramp. The incident occurred at approximately 2000 hours.
