RedactedNarrative: I was unable to obtain all evidence needed for this report from Vessel #2 due to lack of cooperation from the Operator, Operator2, and all Occupants on board Vessel #2.
  
  On May 28, 2016  Operator1, and occupants on his vessel, and Operator2, and occupants on his vessel, were anchored inside the cove near Gizmo Island on Watts Bar Lake. At approximately 4:30 pm to 4:45 pm Operator2 began operating his vessel in a forward motion with the anchor down. 
  
  Subject referenced a group of about 8-10 individuals in the water yelling at Operator2 as he almost made contact with them. Operator2 continued to operate vessel as the port section of Operator2''s vessel made contact with the bow section of Operator1 Vessel. After the vessels made contact, Operator2 continued to operate the vessel. The owner of the Vessel then took control of the vessel to an area where they were no longer moving. 
  
   Operator1 and two others all observed Operator2 operating the vessel at the time of the accident and all noted that he appeared to be intoxicated.
  
  At court on August 08, 2016 the State of Tennessee reached a plea deal with Operator2. He pleaded guilty to Boating under the influence and Violation of implied consent. Reckless and/or negligent operation of a vessel was dropped as part of the deal. Operator2 lost his boating privileges for 1 year.
  
  My investigation is complete.
