RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, May 16, 2015, at approximately 1255 hours, Operator1 was operating his 2002 18" Bayliner when he struck a large rock, land portion located on the west side of Canyon Lake located within the Tonto National Forest - Maricopa County
  
  Upon arrival at the scene, deputies located four injured male subjects (Victim - fatality, Operator1 - wrist, head / facial abrasion, Occupant1 - compound leg fracture, wrist deformation break and Occupant2 - foot fracture and jaw injury) inside the boat, which had sustained significant / heavy bow damage.  Deputies immediately began life saving effort and treatment of all the occupants and an investigation into the incident was initiated. 
  
  During the initial portion of the investigation, I inquired as to who was operating the boat at the time of the accident.  In response, Operator1 immediately advised "I was".  At that time, after inquiring if he was injured, to which he noted only a wrist injury / pain, Operator1 was moved to one of two MCSO patrol boats who were on scene; where I continued to speak with him reference the incident.
  
  In speaking with Operator1, he indicated he and the other occupants of the vessel were relocating his boat from the dam located northwest of our location to the area of the Canyon Lake bridge. In doing so, while travelling at an estimated speed of 30-35 knots, he became distracted and as a result, he crashed the front of his boat into a rock, extension of land; resulting in the injuries sustained to himself and the other occupants onboard.
  
  While I was speaking with Operator1, other on scene deputies continued their treatment and transportation to air evac units (Air Evac 4 and 8) of the two more severely injured subjects on board (Victim - fatality and Occupant1 - compound fracture injuries).  Occupant2 was later transported, by ground, for a possible broken left foot and jaw pain.
  
  As I continued to speak to Operator1 reference the incident, I detected the odor of an intoxicating beverage emanating from Operator1'' person.  Based on the odor and the noted presence of numerous empty beer cans within the passenger compartment of the boat at the time of my arrival, I asked Operator1 if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages to drink today.  In response, Operator1 advised he had in fact consumed "a few beers" prior to the accident.  
  
  Due to the significance of the injuries to all of those involved, no further questioning or investigation was conducted and further treatment efforts were conducted to treat the four subjects on board the vessel; which was now taking on water (sinking).
  
  After completing the treatment for the obvious trauma subjects, both Occupant2 and Operator1, who were not showing any obvious signs / symptoms of significant injury, were transported to the Palo Verde boat ramp where they were later transported, by ground ambulance, to local area hospitals for treatment.
  
  Due to the fact the involved vessel had been taking on significant amounts of water, the boat was towed to the Palo Verde boat ramp where it was secured against the ramp to prevent further sinking and for future disposition by responding Lake Patrol detectives.  
  
  While awaiting the arrival of responding ambulance personnel, a HGN evaluation was conducted with Operator1.  As a result, it was noted Operator1 displayed 6 clues of impairment.  Operator1 was then requested to provide a voluntary breath sample, utilizing a portable breath test (PBT).  In response, Operator1 provided a breath sample indicating a reading of .074% (1351 hours).  A short time later, Operator1 was transported to a local area hospital for his injuries.
  
  While still on board the previously noted MCSO patrol boat, while awaiting the arrival of additional medical personnel, I began speaking to Occupant2 reference what had occurred.  At that time, Occupant2 corroborated Operator1''...
