RedactedNarrative: The original call came from subject1. Subject1 advised the dispatcher the other vessel involved, a white and blue Glastron, had rammed into his vessel and then fled the scene towards Holly Park. Subject1 said the operator of the Glastron appeared to be intoxicated based on the exchange of words and gestures. 
  
  While en-route, the operator of the Glastron, operator2, called 911 to report the incident as well. At the request of Cpl., I responded to Operator2's dock to meet with him. Upon arrival, I located his vessel tied up in his dock. I observed broken glass, scratches, and slight fiberglass damage at mid-ship on the port side. I did not observe any alcohol containers inside the vessel.
  
  I located Operator2 in the driveway of the lake house. His wife was being seen by Hall County Fire/EMS for the lacerations to her legs (she refused transport). She was sitting in the passenger seat, mid-ship.  I spoke with Operator2 and had him explain to me what happened. 
  
  Operator2 stated he was traveling north (in the Chattahoochee River portion of the lake) near marker 50, when he began to overtake a black Sea Ray open motor boat. He stated the operator of the Sea Ray was not paying him any attention and was drifting towards his vessel. Operator2 said the driver finally acknowledged him and accelerated forward, veering right, into his direction of travel. 
  
  Operator2 said he motioned his displeasure to the operator and accelerated as well to leave the area. He explained he stayed along the shoreline as he turned to the right out of the main channel and into the bay area along Sportsman Club Drive. This was the opposite direction of the Sea Ray. 
  
  Thinking he was away from the traffic of the main channel, Operator2 maneuvered his vessel at idle speed in the direction of his dock. I was told the Sea Ray then appeared out of no where, approaching his port side at a high rate of speed. He stated the driver did not pull back the throttle until he was approximately 50 feet from his vessel. Operator2 wrote in his statement, "I see from the sudden change in facial expression the driver has lost control of the Sea Ray and was "fighting" the steering wheel to avoid hitting my boat." According to Operator2, the operator attempted to steer hard left but still collided with his vessel. 
  
  The impact caused the glass in the windshield to shatter. 
  
  The operator of the Sea Ray allegedly refused to exchange information and claimed to have struck Operator2's vessel because he "shot him a bird". He said both vessels then went opposite ways.
  
  While speaking to Operator2, I detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath. I asked if he would allow me to check him to see if he was safe to operate a vessel. Operator2 declined my request. Operator2 estimated the damage to his vessel around $2,000.00
  
  While I was speaking with Operator2 at the lake house, Cpl. responded to Subject1's slip at the Chattahoochee Country Club. Cpl. spoke with Subject1 on the telephone and learned they had to leave the lake abruptly due to a family emergency. Cpl. took pictures of Subject1's vessel.

  I spoke with Subject1 on September 7, 2018 via telephone and had him explain to me what happened. 
  
  Subject1 advised he and his passengers were traveling north after leaving Twisted Oar restaurant at Holiday Marina. He said a short distance past Gainesville Marina he noticed an open motorboat was approaching Him quickly.  The operator estimated the vessel to be about 50 feet from him.  Unsure of the vessels intentions, he accelerated and got away from it.
  
  He told me after he created some distance he came back down to a cruising speed.  At that point, the other vessel passed him on his starboard side and drove alongside for a few moments.  He advised the man was yelling at him and cursing.   The exchange of curse words and gestures was mutual.
  
  After a brief exchange, the vessels went opposite directions.  He told me he wanted to make things right so he went and found the other vessel.  He approached at idle speed with intentions of pulling alongside (starboard to their port).  When the vessels were about 10 feet apart, he said the operator of the other vessel put him in drive, turned to the left and then to the right, which caused the other vessel to strike his vessel near the bow.  He attempted to turn left to avoid collision but could not do so in time.
  
  The vessels went separate ways.  He had a family emergency and had to get off the water.  He was able to buff out the scratches on his vessel.
