RedactedNarrative: On 07/17/2021 at approx. 0950 hours, Natural Resources Police, received a call from the DNR communications center regarding a boat accident from 07/16/2021 at approx. 2130 hours at Middle River Yacht Club. I responded to the call and spoke with the complainant. COMPLAINANT advised me that the previous night, at approx. 2130 hours, he witnessed four vessels traveling east to west from Middle River into Hopkins Creek. These vessels passed by the yacht club heading towards Deckelman’s Boat Yard pushing large wakes.
      The first two boats were described as center consoles 35 to 40 foot in length and produced the largest wakes. These vessels were followed by two more vessels pushing much smaller wakes which appeared to be towboats. The wakes from the first two vessels were so large that they pushed water over finger piers and caused damage to boats by causing the docked vessels to violently move about in their slips. The owners of two vessels, showed me the damage to their vessels. OWNER 1 vessel sustained damage to both sides of his vessel. OWNER 2 sustained damage to only one side of his vessel.
      While taking pictures and observing the damage a witness advised he had witnessed the incident. The witness and COMPLAINANT both agreed to provide witness statements of the incident. I tried to make contact with Deckelman’s Boat Yard but was unable to talk to anyone who could provide any information on the incident. I called OWNER 1 AND OWNER 2 on 07/22/2021 to inquire about the estimate of damage to their vessels. OWNER 2 returned my call and informed me of the estimate of damage to his vessel. On 07/26/2021 I spoke to OWNER 1 who advised me of the estimate of damage to his vessel. 
  All events occurred in Baltimore County, Maryland.
