RedactedNarrative: On march 28. 2015, LDWF agents received information of a boating incident involving a 41 foot sailing vessel in the area of Mandeville in St. Tammany. Agents proceeded to the location where the vessel in question was located as described. Upon making contact with St. Tammany parish deputies it was learned that the vessel had made contact with seawall entering the Mandeville Harbor causing damage and that the operator proceeded to leave the vessel on foot and enter a wooded area in Fontainebleau State Park. 
   
  Agents inspected the vessel where it was left and the rough conditions cause the vessel to have fiberglass and heavy gel coat damage in addition to cracks in the hull. The vessel was cleared and no one was on board. The inside cabin had a heavy odor of marijuana and open alcoholic beverage containers were inside as well. On the floor behind the helm agents located a pipe with residue inside that smelled like marijuana. Due to safety concerns agents exited the boat and returned on March 29. Additionally a search of the area uncovered no results in finding the operator. When agents returned the operator was located on the vessel and identified, and he was interviewed. 
   
  He admitted to and filled out a voluntary witness statement, after being mirandized, that then vessel was his and he produced Coast Guard Documentation proving ownership. He also admitted that he consumed alcoholic beverages at a nearby bar and drove the boat into the lake where he drank wine and smoked marijuana. He then stated as he came into the harbor he lost auxiliary power and could not steer. He then exited the vessel to raise the sails at which point the vessel rudder wedged itself into a sand bar. He then made contact with the seawall where he tied the vessel. He secured the vessel and left the area because he said he was scared. He made no attempt to contact authorities. Agents cited and arrested him for the aforementioned charges. Investigative report to follow.
