RedactedNarrative: On 7/26/15 at approximately 1615 hrs, I, Cpl was dispatched to White Crystal beach on the Elk river, for a reported boat accident.  I arrived on scene to see a large crowd of people carrying a sunken 19' Helms sailboat in the water to a trailer.  
   
     I made contact with the sailboat owner, who pointed out to a Hispanic male in a blue life jacket was operating a red PWC and struck his moored sailboat, causing it to sink.  Witness advised he observed Operator2 operating a red PWC with NJ registration numbers, in the swim area of White Crystal beach.  Byrne advised Operator2 was headed towards V1's blue moored sailboat and seemed to have trouble turning the PWC and ran into the side of the sailboat, bounced off and then continued to leave the area until PWC appeared to break down.  
   
     I spoke with Operator2, and he advised he was operating the red PWC with NJ registration numbers.  I asked for the registration and his identification.  The PWC turned out to be registered in Delaware, DL 671 AK, owned by a Operator2's "friend".  The PWC was just recently purchased and registered in Delaware.
   
  Operator2 advised he was operating the red PWC but never struck the sailboat.  
   
  I issued Operator2 citations for: no boater's safety card, PWC distance violation, and Rules of the Road failure to avoid collision.
   
  On 7/31/15, I spoke with V1 who advised his Sailboat was totaled.  Damage was estimated to be $9000.00 to repair, costing more than the vessel is worth.  All events occurred in Cecil County Maryland...
