RedactedNarrative: On 09/28/2019 at about 1430 hours, I was contacted at the Bartlett Aid Station, Tonto National Forest, by a white male, and his son. They advised their watercraft had run aground on the lake, "as far north as you can go."
  
  Operator1 advised that he was operating the watercraft, his son was seated onboard. They were exploring the area, traveling up the river at, what Operator1 described was well above a wakeless speed, when their boat ran aground. Operator1 said he was in the area about a month ago and did not have any issues with the water being low. Operator1 said he has been boating for 25 years. When asked, Operator1 said he did not see the "No Wake Zone" buoys.
  
  At about 1446 hours, Deputy, the two men, and I went north on Bartlett Lake aboard MCSO Patrol Boat LP81. At about 1514 hours, we arrived at in the area of Sheep Creek Cove, approximate GPS coordinates N 33.91605, W 111.65872. This area is over 3 miles north of the posted "No Wake Zone" buoys at the E2 line, at the north end of Bartlett Lake, labeling the area north of the E2 line a No Wake Zone. 
  
  The white, 1997 Malibu ski boat was facing west, appearing to not be rocking with the current. Due to the water being shallow, we were unable to get closer than about 50 yards from where the watercraft came to rest. I was unable to see any damage due to the shallow water level. 
  
  We brought Operator1 and son back to Bartlett Lake Marina, where they received contact information for boat recovery services.
  
  At about 1600 hours, I issued citation for ARS 5-343, Failure to Control Speed to Avoid a Collision. The citation was issued without incident.
  
  For information not included in this report, please reference my on-body camera, which was operating during this incident. A records check was conducted on Operator1 and son, which showed no current wants or warrants.
  
  Nothing further to report from this Deputy.
