  On 06/21/2018 at approximately 17:32 hours, I, U.S. Park Ranger was dispatched within Lake Mead National Recreation Area, to a report of a person in the water struggling to stay afloat. Dispatch reported that the person was holding onto a buoy in an attempt to stay afloat.  
  
  I responded to the Callville Bay Marina by vehicle at approximately 1732 hours. 
  
  I responded to the area of Swallow Bay on Vessel 40 at approximately 1750 hours
  
  I arrived at Swallow Bay around 1800 hours and began patrolling the area searching for the person in the water or signs of persons in distress along with the Lake Mead Park plane. After searching the area the park plane reported observing a vessel adrift at the southern point of Auxiliary Point.
  
  I responded to Auxiliary point and arrived on scene at approximately 1815 hours. I observed a ski boat nearby with a male lying down in the supine position on the back of the vessel. The people on the ski boat informed me that the male patient was the person struggling in the water.
  
  I requested vessel 41 to my location to provide patient care. Vessel 41 with rangers provided patient care and transported the male patient to the Callville Bay launch ramp to rendezvous with park medic  and meet Community Ambulance. 
  I stayed in the area to rescue a female associated with the male who was stranded on the southern point of Auxiliary point. 
  Around 1825 I picked up the female from Auxiliary point. The female stated she did not have any injuries. I began transporting the female to Callville Bay Marina. 
  
  At approximately 1851 I put vessel 41 back in the slip at Callville Bay Marina and identified the female.
  
   
  I asked SUBJECT1 to tell me what happened. SUBJECT1 stated that the male patient decided to go for a swim because he was hot. SUBJECT1 stated that after VICTIM was in the water, he began struggling to stay afloat. SUBJECT1 stated that VICTIM was not wearing a life jacket. SUBJECT1 stated that she tried to drive her vessel to VICTIM to attempt to rescue him, but could not do so because her vessel''s engine failed to operate. SUBJECT1 stated that her vessel drifted to Auxiliary point where she attempted to anchor it, but was not able to. SUBJECT1 stated that she and VICTIM were out celebrating VICTIM retirement together. SUBJECT1 informed me that she bought the vessel from VICTIM and she was the owner of the vessel.
  
  I observed SUBJECT1 vessel drift to the northern end of Auxiliary point where it was adrift near the shoreline. I informed SUBJECT1 that I could not retrieve her vessel due to high winds and waves, but informed SUBJECT1 that we could make arrangement to retrieve her vessel.
  I smelled a strong odor of alcohol emitting from SUBJECT1 breath as she was talking to me. I asked SUBJECT1 if she had been drinking today. SUBJECT1 stated that she and VICTIM did not consume “a single drop” of alcohol. 
  
  I transported SUBJECT1 to the Callville Bay launch ramp at approximately 1859 hours. 
  SUBJECT1 filled out a voluntary statement at approximately 1915 hours (see attached). 
  
  I cleared the scene at approximately 1925 hours.
  
  I was later informed around 2030 hours by Rangers that while retrieving SUBJECT1 vessel they observed alcoholic beverages in the cooler on the vessel along with an open container of beer in the driver''s side drink holder. 
  Ranger stated that while he was inventorying SUBJECT1 property he found marijuana in her purse.
  Ranger stated owner vessel was not registered and informed me that it was secured at the Callville Bay Marina for SUBJECT1 to pick up the following day.
  
  On 06/22/2018 I observed SUBJECT1 vessel docked at the Callville Bay Marina. I was not able to ident...
