RedactedNarrative: On January 16, 2015 at 0745 hours, Operator1 was at idle drifting in the lock on East Lake Toho when his vessel was struck on the port bow by Operator2's vessel.
  
  The vessels were registered in the Bass tournament and were stationed in the lock when the collision occured. The vessel operated by Operator2 impacted Operator1s vessel on the forward port section of the bow.   According to his witness statement, subject was side by side with another vessel talking to the operator when he felt a jolt in his boat.  He stated he turned around and asked "what the fuck; are you an idiot."  Words were exchanged and both parties started a shoving match and fell into the water.  Operator1 was arrested for assault and battery;  Operator2 was asked to leave the tournament.
  
  	I, Officer made contact with Operator2 and conducted a telephone interview.  Operator2 stated that he was moving at an idle speed when his trolling motor bumped into Operator1s vessel.  He stated that there was no damage done to either his trolling motor or Operator1s vessel.  Operator2 asked several times that if it" was possible that Operator1 caused the damage later and then reported it."   I advised him that it was possible due to the fact that the accident was reported the next day.  
  
  	The vessel that Operator2 was using for the tournament had already left the county and was on its way back out of the state.  I was unable to look at it and assess it for damage.      
  
  	The accident was reported to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission the next day.  
  
  	Operator1's boat sustained minor hull damage to the forward section of the port bow.  There was fiberglass cracking and the boat wrap was damaged.  According to Operator1s interview the damage would be in excess of $2,000.00.
