RedactedNarrative: On 7/30/2021 Officers received a call from Jackson County Sheriffs Office in reference to a boat accident on Kinkaid Lake. We responded to the scene of the accident at approximately 11:45 PM and photographed the vessels location, damage, and additional evidence. The vessel had significant damage to the entire hull and also on the keel. The operator and other passengers had left the scene and were picked up by the Jackson County Sheriffs Office and taken back to their campsite also located on Kinkaid Lake. 
  
  Both operator and passengers stated that they were cruising around in the boat starting at 7:30 or 8:00 PM, and that they were "Big Foot Hunting" by shining a spotlight on the bank. Operator stated that while making the turn where the lake stopped he misjudged the distance to the bank and ran the boat up onto the rocks. After attempting the push the boat back into the water unsuccessfully they walked to a house closest to the lake and asked them to call the police. Operator was issued a citation for careless operation of watercraft and written warnings for failure to wear engine cut off switch and inoperable navigation lights (stern).
