  An Officer checked on Operator as he was lying on the water's edge.  The Officer reported smelling the odor of intoxicants on his breath.  He asked Operator if he had been drinking and Operator told him that he had been drinking but would not tell him how much.  When asked if he would be willing to blow into a PBT machine, Operator refused.

  Upon completion, the Trooper sent the report to the Yakima County Officer.  In the Trooper's report, Operator, after Miranda, stated that he had been drinking beer since Saturday and that he had drank around six Modelo beers.  The Toxicology report is pending.  Operator also stated that this was his first time operating a Jet Ski and that he had been coming in towards shore too fast and that he pulled the emergency pull cord to stop the vessel but that it had not slowed down enough before he had hit the shore.
