RedactedNarrative: At approximately 22:18 KSP post 11 dispatched all units on Lake Cumberland there had been a call regarding a boat running ashore on Ramsey’s point. Officer and myself responded to the call, we weren’t the first group of officers to arrive on scene. 
  Lt. and Sgt. were on scene when we arrived. Sgt. was conducting Field Sobriety tests at the time of our arrival and, Lt. was checking on the passenger that was laying stationary on the ground complaining of hip pain.
  I spoke with Victim who was the injured passenger and he stated he was riding in the front passenger seat of the boat. 
  After Sgt. finished with his sobriety tests I spoke with him about the results. Sgt. stated there were multiple clues showing Operator’s impairment and that he believed that there was another substance in his system as well as alcohol. I asked Operator if he needed any medical attention he stated he didn't. I asked Operator what happened, he then stated he thought he was running in the mid channel of the lake. He stated he could see a camp fire and thought that's where the shoreline was. Operator stated he was heading back from State Dock to Conley Bottom where his campsite was. I asked Operator how fast the boat was traveling he stated he was on plane and was going around 35-40mph. Based on the distance traveled after the initial impact the evidence indicates the  boat had to be on plane.  I asked Operator if he noticed the two flashing buoys he had driven between that marked the island and no boat zone that he drove into. He stated he did not see them at the time he drove through them. 
  
  At the time I was on the scene and when I left both buoys were flashing and located outside of the point marking the danger areas. I asked Operator how much he had to drink prior to driving he stated he had drank two beers.  I then asked Operator if there was anyone else on the boat, he stated no. I went and looked in the boat to make sure there wasn't anyone left on the boat. The boat was unoccupied the door to the cuddy was open and there were two beer cans in plain view lying on the floor. The carpet inside the boat was wet and smelled of alcoholic beverage. 
  
  At this time I examined the damage to the boat inside and out. There were multiple stress fractures to the cuddy door and trim around the door from the impact. It pushed some of the wood used to brace the backseat out into the floor. The boat was measured to have travelled 120 feet on the shoreline out of the water. The terrain consisting of rocks and sand tore the hull and outdrives on the motor up to the point of leaving the boat inoperable. While walking around the boat to look at the damage it was discovered that roughly 25 feet from the boat was a cooler with beer that matched the manufacturing numbering of the beer from the boat as well as a box containing 2 bags of marijuana, as well as several small smoked marijuana joints. 
  
  The box also contained paraphernalia consistent to marijuana use. There were footprints in the sand leading from the boat to where the cooler and box was located. I asked Operator if the box and cooler sitting beside the boat was his or his passengers and he stated it was not. He stated that it could be anyone's and implied there were people that showed up as soon as the boat ran ashore and it could be theirs. The two adults camping had their children with them and were roughly 200-300 yards from where the boat ran ashore.  I spoke with two witnesses that were camping on the shoreline that saw the boat run onto the shore. They both stated they could see the boat coming from the water, and they came around the point and were headed straight for the shore and never changed directions. They also stated once they ran ashore Operator who was driving seem uninjured and was out walking around. They stated Victim seemed to be in pain and discomfort and laid down almost immediately after getting out of the boat. Victim was transported from the scene by Wayne County EMS. Wayne County EMS transported Victim to Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital where he was treated and later released that night. 
  After speaking to everyone involved it was evident that impairment was a factor in the boat running ashore. Also speed, inexperience of the terrain in the area, and not having a proper lookout contributed to the grounding. 
  Operator was arrested and his Miranda rights were read. He was then transported to Wayne County ER for a blood draw. Operator was read the implied consent form at which time he refused to submit to a blood sample. Operator was transported to Wayne County Detention Center upon leaving the hospital. While traveling to and from the above listed locations Operator seemed lethargic and confused of the situation that had happened. He spoke about his trip down that weekend and a series of events that had happened that didn’t pertain to what was going on the night of the accident. Operator needed to have everything explained multiple times when traveling to and from the hospital and jail after he had been told what was occurring.
