RedactedNarrative: On March 26, 2021 at approximately 1950 hrs I, Game Warden with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, was notified by CPL of a boating incident in Gordon County near Salacoa Creek. Upon my arrival, Game Warden notified me that the War Eagle Gladiator 750 had entered the flooded field and stuck a guide wire on an irrigation pivot arm, damaging the upper area motor, as well as injuring two of the three occupants in the vessel. 
  
  	Operator informed me they had been operating in their vessels in the Salacoa Creek area when they went into a different creek. They exited the second creek and into a flooded field owned by NG Turf. At this time, one occupant told him to go under the irrigation arm (pivot). Operator estimated they were traveling approximately 20 miles per hour when they went under the pivot. As they were going under the pivot, two people were struck by a guide wire attached to the pivot. The motor on Operator’ War Eagle Gladiator was also struck by the guide wire, causing the motor to turn off and become unable to start. Operator’ boat had to be towed ashore by another boat. 
  
  One person was transported by EMS with face/ mouth injuries and was released later that evening. Another occupant in the vessel, refused EMS treatment or transport. 
  
  	Operator admitted to both SGT (Gordon County Sheriff’s Office) and I that he and his occupants had been partaking in alcoholic beverages and had been sinking the cans throughout their trip. Operator was tested for impairment utilizing the Seated battery Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and was found not to be impaired. Operator also did not have the required boater’s education class (anyone born after January 1, 1998). Operator was charged with operating a vessel without meeting the boater’s education requirements, littering, and for violating the one-hundred foot rule. Two people were charged with littering. All individuals related to the incident are being warned for Criminal Trespass on behalf of the NG Turf Farm Manager. 
  
  	Pictures of motor damage available on request.
