RedactedNarrative: On 6/1/20, Cpl. was notified of a single vessel incident that occurred in East Cote Blanche Bay, near Rabbit Island, located in St. Mary Parish. All of the information received was second hand from Detective Lieutenant, of St. Mary Parish Sheriff Office Water Patrol Division. Det. Lt. stated that Operator 1 and his two sons, Occupant 1 and Occupant 2 were operating a 21 ft., remote steer vessel when they struck what appeared to be a floating line, approximately 5/8-3/4 inch in diameter. 
  
  Upon striking the floating line, the vessels engine became disabled and almost immediately ceased all forward momentum. When that occurred, waves started coming over the stern of the vessel, causing it to flood then sink. All 3 occupants were wearing PFD's at the time of the incident and were able to swim to an oil platform where they removed themselves from the water and called 911. 
  
  Det. Lt. responded to the area where he retrieved all 3 occupants and transported them back to their vehicle located at Burns Point. Det. Lt. did advise that Operator 1's cellphone was inoperable as a result of the incident, and that he had no other way to make contact with him. Det. Lt. stated that he provided Operator 1 with his phone number and asked him to call him once he had a working phone. Cpl. was able to obtain the vessel information for Operator 1 via LDWF communications. All other details were pending until Cpl. successfully made contact with Operator . Det. Lt. did not provide any evidence or reason to Cpl. for him to suspect that drugs and/ or alcohol were contributing factors to the incident.
