RedactedNarrative: 5-31-2020 1830 hours:  While on patrol of Yatesville Lake, we noticed a black and red boat on the lake.  I noticed several juveniles on the boat to which I looked at the boat through binoculars to verify they were wearing PFD's noticing a white male operating the boat an adult female and three juveniles on the boat.

Sitting on the floor next to him was a box for Crown Royal whiskey and a brown paper bag.  I requested subject to enter our vessel and he was placed in a PFD before he disembarked his vessel.  I had to help him as he was unsteady on his feet and appeared to be having trouble just standing.  I gave him a battery of field sobriety tests and he failed them indicating he was intoxicated.  I then placed him in handcuffs and advised him that he was under arrest.  At this time subject became somewhat belligerent but was not combative.

  VESSEL 2 Passenger:
  She advised she was kayaking on Yatesville Lake and a boat came and was going slow and sped up and my niece was kayaking with me and the boat sped up and ran over her kayak.  We found a park ranger and he went to find them, he the boater came back and cussed us and then left and didn't help.  
  OPERATOR 2 was taken to TRMC the next morning complaining of respiratory issues stemming from the collision.
  
  VESSEL 1 passenger:
  I spoke with her over the phone.  She was the female in the boat with OPERATOR 1.  She told me that she didn't know he was drinking at first.  She stated that he had a water bottle filled with what looked like tea and kept drinking it.  She later saw the bottle of Crown Royal whiskey in the boat and told him that she had her three sons in the boat and she didn't like him drinking.  She was very upset with him for that but she stated that she saw the kayakers and noticed he was headed straight for one.  She tried to get him to stop but he kept going and hit one of them.  She said he wasn't going to stop but she made him go back.  She told me when he went back he became confrontational with them cussing them and told them to get out of his way.  He cussed at them some more and then left.  It was then we stopped him and she said she was glad that we stopped him and got him off of the boat.  
  
  I spoke with another VESSEL 1 passenger also over the phone who told me that he did come back after a few minutes and that he began cussing at them and tried to get them to fight.  she stated that he seemed very mad at them for being in the water.  She also advised that there were several other kayakers getting out of the water where they did, who saw his boat, and said that he drove at them and acted like he was going to run over them.  she didn't get their names but the rental facility may have them.
  
  Case is currently under investigation pending court decision.
