RedactedNarrative: On July 24, 2017 at 5:33 PM, I was notified by Winston County Sheriff''s Department of a one-vessel collision with a boat dock.  According to witness'' statements and evidence gathered, Vessel #1 struck a floating two-stall boat dock with swim platform, doing heavy damage.  Vessel #1 also struck a boat that was moored on a HydroHoist boat lift in the dock.  
  
  The vessel came back down into the water and came to rest against an adjacent boat dock, doing minor damage to decking boards on the dock.  The owner of the second dock that sustained minor damage said he would not place an insurance claim and repair the dock at his own cost and did not want to be a part of this report.  
  
  Some passersby who witnessed the crash offered to render aid, but the driver and passenger refused help and left the scene of the crash. The witnesses were able to identify and report registration numbers of Vessel #1.  
  
  After further investigation, I was able to locate the boat driver and boat owner, as well as the passenger, in the Big Bridge area of Crane Hill.  Upon interviewing the driver, he admitted to striking the boat dock and leaving the scene.  Both subjects said they were kissing when Operator lost control and struck the dock.  When Operator was initially questioned about alcohol consumption, he denied at least two times that he had anything to drink.  He finally confessed that he had consumed three shots of Vodka before the crash.  He was not found to be impaired at the time of my arrival at his residence.  Among the property damaged in the crash was a 46 ft. wide by 28 ft. long two-stall King Quality steel boat dock with swim platform, a 19 ft. 2005 Triton TR-196 bass boat H.I.N.# TJZX9284b404 with a Mercury 200 H.P. Optimax Serial # 5JUBT21244T009075, a HydroHoist boat lift, and $2,000 worth of electrical wiring and components.  The driver and passenger were not injured beyond first aid treatment.
