RedactedNarrative: On Sunday, July 12, 2015 at approximately 1:00 p.m., I received a phone call from Ranger in reference to a boat incident on Lake Seminole.  Ranger advised me the incident was between Cypress Pond and Big Jim’s Landing.  I picked up a patrol boat and met Ranger at Big Jim’s Landing.   I arrived at the landing at 2:00 p.m, we launched the patrol vessel and headed towards the scene of the wreck.  When we arrived at the location, we observed a Tracker Marine pontoon boat with a 90 horse power motor with damage visible to the front port side of the vessel. There was also a Skeeter bass boat with a 250 horse power motor located in the woods nearby with the motor barely in the water.  All but one passenger were headed back to Big Jim’s Landing to be examined my EMS.  All passengers and operators refused EMS at the Landing.  While at the Landing, I interviewed the operator of the bass boat and Ranger conducted field sobriety exercises on the operator of the Pontoon Boat.  
  
  Operator2 stated that he and his girlfriend went through Grassy Flat and started going into a small canal, where he slowed down to about 32 miles an hour.  He stated that when he started to make a right turn inside the narrow canal, he saw the pontoon boat.  Operator2 stated both vessels turned their boats to the right and they sideswiped each other on the left hand side of each vessel.  
  
  When Ranger concluded field sobriety exercises, he determined that Operator1 was not impaired.  I asked Ranger to return to the incident location to take photographs and collect the witness statement from the remaining passenger on the pontoon boat.   While Ranger was photographing the scene, I interviewed Operator1.  Operator1 stated that he was going about 10-12 miles an hour heading towards Spring Creek, when a bass boat came around the curve going really fast.  He stated he turned right but the bass boat struck him on the left side of his vessel.  All passengers and operators gave written statements of the occurrence.  
  
  All six subjects refused EMS at the Landing.  Visual bruising was apparent on some passengers.  The bass boat operator, Operator2 was charged with failure to regulate speed.  The Pontoon Boat Operator, Operator1 Was Charged with operating a vessel with expired registration.
